Police Minister Fikile Mbalula says that while Zimbabwe's First Lady Grace Mugabe can be arrested for assault, diplomatic immunity would have to be considered before that. A 20-year-old woman has accused Mugabe of attacking her at a Sandton hotel. Pictures circulating on social media show she sustained injuries to her head. She says she had to get stitches following the incident. Mbalula says an investigation is underway.
