First Lady Grace Mugabe has been asked to hand herself over to police - or face arrest - over allegations that she assaulted a young woman during a visit to South Africa.
The woman, described by South African media as a 21-year-old model, is alleged to have sustained injuries to the face after being assaulted at a hotel in the posh suburb of Sandton near Johannesburg on Sunday night.
Gauteng police minister Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane said they are now requesting that the first lady come forward. If not, police will ensure that she’s arrested and goes to court like any other person.
Mrs Mugabe has not yet commented. Her two sons live in South Africa.
However, Zimbabwe's Information Minister Christopher Mushowe told BBC Africa Live that he was unaware of the alleged assault.
Mrs Mugabe was in South Africa to be treated for an ankle injury during a freak road accident last month when the alleged assault took place.
It is unclear what prompted the alleged assault.
