By AFPMore by this AuthorHARARE,Zimbabwe on Friday said it would not extradite Grace Mugabe, wife of former president Robert Mugabe, after an arrest warrant was issued in South Africa for her alleged assault of a model in 2017. The Randburg Magistrates Court in Gauteng province issued the warrant of arrest on December 13, charging Mrs Mugabe with "assault causing grievous bodily harm". At the time, the government granted Mrs Mugabe diplomatic immunity, allowing her to hurriedly leave South Africa. A court scrapped the immunity in July, labelling the decision by the foreign ministry as "inconsistent with the constitution". President Emmerson Mnangagwa, his former deputy, recently revealed Mr Mugabe had been in Singapore for medical care and was now unable to walk because of ill health and old age.
