Zim embassy takes on Afriforum as Grace Mugabe saga unfolds
Pretoria - Should Zimbabwean first lady Grace Mugabe be served court papers at the Zimbabwean embassy in South Africa or in person in her home country?
That's what acting judge Harshila Kooverjile must decide after several factors were raised during argument on Tuesday.
The embassy has applied to become an intervening party in Afriforum's application to see a decision by International Relations and Co-operation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane to grant Mugabe diplomatic immunity set aside.
Mugabe was granted permission to leave the country despite allegedly assaulting South African model, Gabriella Engels with an extension cord on August 13.
Both Engels and her mother Debbie were in court during proceedings accompanied by Afriforum CEO Kallie Kriel.
