“We could have long moved and raided on her in terms of the issues, but she has sought to invoke diplomatic immunity.” said Mbalula.
 
“My job as a minister is to ensure that our citizens are protected without fear or favour, and that is what I must enforce that our police execute. But equally, I don’t want them to bungle and to bring things into disrepute in the country. Anybody who comes to South Africa must know that we are a constitutional State, and we are a law State. Nothing will just be left,” said Mbalula.
 
. A case has long been opened. It is not just a case of an ordinary person. It has all those implications that must be attended to,” said Mbalula.
 
Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe arrived in Pretoria last night for the 37th SADC Heads of State and Government Summit, amidst the controversy surrounding his wife Grace.
 
The victim, twenty-year-old model Gabriella Engels has accused Grace Mugabe of assaulting her while she was visiting Mugabe’s sons in a hotel room in an upscale Johannesburg suburb. The woman claims the first lady’s bodyguards stood by and watched as Mugabe attacked her.
 
Engels posted several photos on social media showing a gash in her forehead, which she said was a result of the alleged assault.
