South Africa issues arrest warrant for Zimbabwe's Grace MugabeSouth Africa issues arrest warrant for Zimbabwe's Grace Mugabe [Courtesy]South Africa has issued an arrest warrant for Zimbabwe’s former first lady Grace Mugabe over an alleged assault in an upmarket district of Johannesburg last year, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.After the alleged assault with an electric cable came to light in August 2017, the South African government granted Grace Mugabe diplomatic immunity. That immunity was overturned by a South African court this year after the alleged victim, model Gabriella Engels, challenged the decision. “I can confirm that a warrant for the arrest of Grace Mugabe was issued last Thursday,” South African Police Service spokesman Vishnu Naidoo said, adding that police were seeking Interpol’s help to enforce the warrant.
