Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe has returned to the country from South Africa, state media reports, after a 20‑year‑old model accused her of assault in an upmarket Johannesburg hotel room.
South African police had placed border posts on "red alert" to prevent her from leaving the country, but the international relations minister granted the wife of 93‑year‑old Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe diplomatic immunity.
The young woman who made the assault allegation, Gabriella Engels, has accused Grace Mugabe of whipping her with an electric extension cable a week ago as she waited with two friends in a luxury hotel suite to meet one of Mugabe's adult sons.
