Tanzania faces environmentalist criticism over its plans to build a mega-hydropower plant

The power plant - to be built inside the Selous Game Reserve - one of the largest wildlife parks on the continent - could pose an environmental threat. Plus: thousands of Nigerians frustrated in rush to beat the voter registration deadline today. Also: equality under the law for women married according to Muslim rites in South Africa.
