Grace Mugabe will face justice for assaulting Gabriella Engels if she applies for asylum in SA

Deputy Minister for International Relations and Co-operation (Dirco) Luwellyn Landers said that Grace Mugabe’s assault case will not be dropped if she is granted political asylum in South Africa. Grace stands accused of assaulting South African model Gabriella Engels with an electric cable in a Johannesburg hotel suite in August. 

Landers said that South Africa’s courts are independent and that granting Robert Mugabe and Grace asylum would not have a bearing on any pending case. AfriForum is pursuing a private prosecution against Grace, who left South Africa under controversial circumstances after being granted diplomatic immunity by Dirco. Briefing the international relations portfolio committee, Landers indicated that there was no request for asylum by the Mugabes.
