Zimbabwe Cricket Puts Victoria Falls Stadium Plans On Hold

Financial constraints have forced Zimbabwe Cricket to "shelve its ambitious project of building a multi-purpose cricket stadium in the resort town of Victoria Falls," according to Ricky Zililo of THE CHRONICLE. ZC Chair Tawengwa Mukuhlani said that the project "would only be pursued once they get partners to assist financially." ZC first undertook to build the country's third Test ground in '11. Mukuhlani said that construction of the stadium "was not part of his board's priorities." He said, "There's nothing in the cards with regards to the Victoria Falls stadium. As ZC, we don't have finances to pursue that project." His predecessor, Wilson Manase, had in '14 "given the impression that they had laid some groundwork to source funding for the construction." The proposed stadium was going to have a seating capacity of 12,000 and architects had presented a plan, "which included a clubhouse" (THE CHRONICLE, 10/20).
