Officials in South Africa have issued an arrest warrant for Zimbabwe’s former first lady, Grace Mugabe, over an alleged assault on a model.
The AfriForum campaign group said it was informed by South African police about the warrant for Ms Mugabe, who was accused of assaulting model Gabriella Engels in a Johannesburg hotel last year.
Ms Mugabe had said at the time she was acting in self-defence after she claimed the model attacked her in a room where her two sons lived, the BBC reported.
The South African government had granted diplomatic immunity to Mrs Mugabe, who returned to Zimbabwe despite calls for her prosecution.
She returned with her husband, who was then president of Zimbabwe and attending a regional summit in Pretoria.
He was forced to resign in November 2017.
This year, a South African court ruled that the decision to grant diplomatic immunity to Grace Mugabe was illegal.
