Inflation is 100,000%, unemployment 80%, and up to 1 million people (out of a population of 12 million) have fled to neighboring South Africa. "We are very conscious that it's very difficult to fight dictatorship with democratic means," Tsvangirai says.

Home buyers made a conscious decision to extend themselves beyond their means; they are the ones who need to be held most accountable.
