South African Court Annuls Government’s Decision to Grant Grace Mugabe Immunity

Published

South African court has annulled a government decision to grant Zimbabwe’s former First Lady Grace Mugabe diplomatic immunity in an assault case.
The decision was “inconsistent with the constitution”, the court ruled. Grace Mugabe was accused of assaulting a young model, Gabriella Engels, in a hotel in South Africa’s main city, Johannesburg, in 2017.
South Africa allowed Mugabe, 53, to return home after she applied for diplomatic immunity. Mrs Mugabe said at the time that she had acted in self-defence after the “intoxicated and unhinged” model attacked her in a hotel room where her two sons lived.
The alleged assault took place about three months before the military takeover in Zimbabwe which saw Robert Mugabe resign as president after 37 years in power. The court ruling comes on the same day as Zimbabweans go to the polls in the first vote since Robert Mugabe was ousted.
Ms Engels accused Mrs Mugabe of beating the “hell out of me” with an electric extension cord, in an incident which made international headlines.
The South African Police Service (Saps) investigated the alleged assault, but declined to prosecute after then-Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane granted Mrs Mugabe diplomatic immunity.

She said: “Nigerian and Ghanaian music markets are not the same. Nigerians are way more than we are in terms of numbers. Numbers really matter now. The number of people that will stream Nigerian music in Nigeria is different from the number of people that will stream Ghanaian music in Ghana. The numbers are not the same.

“In the capacity of numbers, Lagos is bigger than Ghana. It is like the music hub itself. Nigerians are way bigger than we are. So, usually when I see people comparing, I’m like, ‘Do you guys know?’

“There shouldn’t be any comparisons. What I believe that we should is that we should be more collaborative. Find our vibes and put them together to advance what Afrobeats is going to be in the future; for us to be the gatekeepers of our own sound. And I think that’s the power move.”

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has condemned transgenderism, saying people should not be bullied into believing anyone can “be the s£x they want to be.”

With his party members cheering, Mr Sunak said people cannot be the sex they want, stating, “a man is a man and a is a woman.”

We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any s£x they want to be. They can’t. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman; that is just common sense,” said Mr Sunak.
