End of the Victoria Falls?

Submitted by John on Wed, 06/06/2012 - 09:08.

Someone e-mailed this to me, without quoting the source I'm afraid. Can anyone verify it please?

President Michael Sata who is on a State visit to neighboring Zimbabwe
yesterday together with his counterpart Robert Mugabe witnessed the
signing of the MoU on co-operation to jointly construct a US$4 billion 1,650
megawatt hydro-power station at the Batoka Gorge.

The two Memorandums of Understanding signed were of Co-operation in
Tourism and Youth Development.
Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Walter Mzembi and Youth
Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment Minister Saviour
Kasukuwere signed on behalf of Zimbabwe while Zambian Foreign Affairs and
Tourism Minister Given Lubinda signed on behalf of Zambia.

This is the Gorge that Vic Falls cascades into.

lol personally I'm saving up to get to French Polynesia as quickly as possible, lest devastating climate change swallow up the islands before I've walked those sandy shores
