(17 Aug 2017) Lawyers for the young model who alleges Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe assaulted her in a Johannesburg hotel said Thursday that her family has been approached with an offer of money to drop the allegation.
South African police said a "red alert" had been issued to prevent Grace Mugabe from leaving the country after Zimbabwe's government requested diplomatic immunity.
Gerrie Nel, a prominent South African lawyer who has offered his assistance to Gabriella Engels, a 20-year-old model, emphasised that " everybody is equal before the law".
The situation has become a diplomatic mess for South Africa's government and Zimbabwe's 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe, who arrived in South Africa's capital late Wednesday apparently to deal with the crisis.
