Civil rights organisation Afriforum will ask the High Court in Pretoria to review the diplomatic immunity granted to Zimbabwe’s first lady Grace Mugabe on Tuesday.

Mugabe allegedly attacked South African model Gabriella Engels with an electric cord in a hotel in Sandton in the north Johannesburg in August.

Engels laid a criminal charge against Mugabe but the International Relations Department granted her immunity.

Afriforum’s Willie Spies says they will ask the court to overturn this.

The Zimbabwean High Commission in Pretoria has applied to intervene in the matter.
