Relating to the ongoing allegations the Zimbabwean first lady Grace Mugabe assaulted a South African model, the South African police has issued a “red alert” to prevent Mugabe from leaving the country. And now Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old president Robert Mugabe, arrived in South Africa’s capital late Wednesday apparently to deal with the crisis himself. He came early for a regional summit of southern African nations this weekend.
South Africa’s minister of police said all borders had been notified to prevent Grace Mugabe from leaving the country before the matter is resolved. South African authorities are debating whether to grant the 52-year-old Grace diplomatic immunity.
The model identified as Engels has registered a case with police accusing Mugabe of attacking her with an extension cord in a luxury hotel in a Johannesburg suburb late Sunday. Engels said she was in a hotel room with mutual friends of Mugabe’s two sons, who live in Johannesburg, when the first lady burst in and assaulted her.
Photos of Engels posted on social media show a bloody gash to her forehead that she claimed was a result of the encounter. Police said they’ve completed their investigation into the case and are waiting for direction from South Africa’s government on the status of Mugabe’s immunity request.
