Nakivubo takes shape

The Nakivubo Stadium redevelopment project is taking shape as the erecting of stands has gotten underway.

The construction of the project on a 13-acre piece of land that will have a 34,500 seater stadium and indoor sports facilities as well as commercial spaces has faced numerous delays in the past.

Nduva reigns supreme

Kenya's Daniel Nduva carded an overall 208 gross over 54 holes to win the Pam Golding Safari Tour Golf Tournament at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa on Friday. It was second time lucky for Nduva who won the Uganda Open at the same venue in September.

Twenty-eight golfers from Uganda and Kenya participated in the tournament alongside the professionals whose tournament ends on Saturday.  Kenya's Sujan Shah leads the professionals' event on 213 gross, one stroke ahead of C.J. Wangai.
