Dirco to decide Grace Mugabe's fate
The police ministry says the fate of Zimbabwean first lady Grace Mugabe lies with the Department of International Relations (Dirco).
Mugabe is accused of assaulting a 20-year-old woman at a hotel in Sandton, but has now invoked diplomatic immunity.
The young woman was allegedly hit with an extension cord, leaving her with a huge gash on her head.
The police's Vuyo Mhaga says will only be able to arrest Mugabe if given the green light by Dirco.

"Everything from our part is ready. What has happened is that the lawyers of the suspect informed us of their intention to bring diplomatic immunity.

"We are waiting for Dirco to give us an indication on what becomes our next step, but as soon as Dirco indicates then we will be able to pronounce our next step and the police will do what they need to do," says Mhaga.
