Zimbabwe has failed to keep its promise to build new homes for the thousands whose houses were demolished last year, says lobby group Amnesty International according to BBC Online Saturday.
An Amnesty report found that just 3.325 new homes had been built, while 92.460 had been knocked down. Many of those described as “built” lack doors, windows and even floors.
President Robert Mugabes government in Harare has denied previous similar accusations as “absolutely not true”. It said the demolitions were to clean up cities.
Amnesty researchers found one man living in what was supposed to be a toilet in the tourist resort of Victoria Falls. They also found a family living in the bathroom of a house shared by three other families in the second city, Bulawayo.
