AfriForum spokesperson Willie Spies said that the organisation is confident that former Zimbabwe first lady Grace Mugabe will be extradited to South Africa to face trial on allegations of assaulting a model, Gabriella Engels.
On Wednesday, the South African National Prosecution Authority announced that it had obtained a warrant of arrest for Grace Mugabe.
AfriForum spokesperson Spies said
We have been advised that the National Prosecution Authority has been granted an arrest warrant.
We are certain she will be brought here for trial because South Africa, as far as we are concerned, has an extradition treaty with Zimbabwe.
That should be easy to bring Mrs Mugabe to justice.
In an interview with AFP, South African police spokesman Vishnu Naidoo said
The police investigated, and we made an application to the courts and the courts granted a warrant for the arrest… for the assault of Gabriella Engels.
We are following the Interpol (International Criminal Police) processes, so we are applying for assistance to secure her arrest.
