The town comprises a variety of resources readily available for use by the chiefdom, these includes Mankayane Government Hospital, the home affairs offices,police station,correctional services,a fire station, schools and large retail shops such as PEP stores and Shoprite U save.

Nearby are the extensive man-made forests which cover much of the high veld areas of Eswatini.

The area around Mankayane is also covered in small homesteads where traditional forms of agriculture are carried out.

Other small irrigation schemes now exist providing a cash cropping basis for some local farmers.

These pieces of land comprising almost 50% of the country are those areas taken over for use as farms and industry at the time of colonisation.

These areas are privately owned; originally by English or Afrikaans farmers and increasingly by indigenous or naturalised Swazi.
