1 May 2011 The United Nations human rights chief today urged Ugandan authorities to immediate halt the use of "excessive" force against opposition politicians and protesters, saying it was only fuelling the crisis in the African nation, where at least eight people have been killed and hundreds of others injured in recent weeks. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay issued a statement in which she described the use of force as disproportionate and said they were impinging on the key freedoms of ordinary Ugandans.

Zimbabwe will soon have a third cricket test arena after the Victoria Falls town council unanimously approved plans for a new ground near the world famous landmark.

Construction work on the new ground will begin early next year.

The new venue will be the third Test arena in the country, after Harare Sports Club and Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. It will also host one day internationals and Twenty20 matches. There are expectations that the ground will have the capacity to seat more than 5,000 spectators.

The new grounds will be sited close to the gorge at Victoria Falls.
