South Africa has granted Grace Mugabe diplomatic immunity: security source
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa has granted diplomatic immunity to Zimbabwe first lady Grace Mugabe, allowing her to return to Harare and avoid prosecution for the alleged assault of a 20-year-old model, a security source said on Friday. The source also told Reuters that Mugabe, 52, had failed to appear in a Johannesburg magistrate's court on Tuesday under an agreement struck with police because of fears she might be attacked. "There are a lot of exiled Zimbabweans in South Africa," the source said. (Reporting by Ed Cropley; Editing by Angus MacSwan)
