  • The sacred site of Assin Manso in the Central Region of Ghana, three rivers join together to form the last place where captive Kmtyws were allowed to bathe before being taken to the coastal dungeons of El Mina, Cape Coast & others. The kidnapped and shackled Kmtyws had the last opportunity to wash themselves [still shakled] after uncountable days of traveling by foot several hundreds of miles through thick forests and dusty tracks and with little or no food on a North-South journey to the coast.

Final inspection and categorization of stolen Kmtyws were then made before they got to the final transit point in the infamous dungeons of the Castles and forts on the coast. Those who were too weak to continue were murdered and buried on the banks of the river. It is believed that the reddish color of this river is due to all the blood spilled into over several years of slave trade. In the Akan language, donko means slave and nsuo means water. Therefore Donko Nsuo literally means Slave Water hence the Slave River. Though this tragic part of history was never documented, the legend has passed on through generations thus the local people have always called the stream Donko Nsuo.
