Mugabe's wife hands herself in to South African police, to be charged with assault

Following an assault on a 20-year-old South African model on Sunday, Zimbabwe's first lady, Grace Mugabe, has handed herself in to South African police and will be charged with assault.

South African police minister Fikile Mbalula confirmed the report and said that Grace, 52 had co-operated with police.

From our earlier report, Grace was in the country for medical treatment for her injured foot when the incident happened.
 
When asked if Grace could be arrested while having diplomatic immunity, Mbalula said: "All those implications will be taken into consideration" before adding that "She will be charged."

She is not under arrest because she co-operated and handed herself over to the police. But a case has been opened," said the minister.

According to Reuters, a Zimbabwean intelligence source said Grace had been travelling on an ordinary non-diplomatic passport and "was here on business."
