Grace Mugabe 'assaulted' me with an extension cord – Model, 20, claims
Johannesburg – A twenty-year-old model claims Zimbabwean first lady Grace Mugabe assaulted her with an extension cord in Sandton on Sunday evening.
Mugabe may face prosecution for the alleged assault in South Africa. Diplomatic immunity can only granted if the first lady was in the country for official business, Department of International Relations spokesperson Clayson Monyela told IOL.
The Zimbabwean Mail reported that Mugabe was in the country to have her foot examined following an accident at the Harare international airport.
Gabriella Engels on Monday said she was visiting Mugabe’s two sons Robert and Chatunga at the Capital 20 West Hotel whom she met through a mutual friend on Saturday.
Engels said a bodyguard asked her and a friend to leave the brothers and wait in a separate room before Mugabe allegedly started beating her.
