A South Gauteng High Court has decided that the diplomatic immunity granted to former first lady Grace Mugabe was unconstitutional.
Judge Bashier Vally set aside the decision by former international relations and cooperation minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, saying the provision had been inconsistent with the constitution.
Mugabe was charged with the assault of Gabriella Engels at a Johannesburg hotel‚ where her sons were staying.
Engels sustained injuries but Mugabe was granted diplomatic immunity meaning she would not face charges over the matter.
The DA and Afriforum approached the courts to have this reversed.
UPDATE: Afriforum has now called on the National Prosecuting Authority to lay charges against Grace Mugabe
