Grace mugabe headache
You're referring to the infamous incident involving Grace Mugabe, the wife of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
In 2017, Grace Mugabe was accused of assaulting Gabriella Engels, a 20-year-old model, at a luxury hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. Engels alleged that Mugabe had attacked her with an extension cord, leaving her with serious injuries.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and calls for Mugabe's arrest and extradition to South Africa to face charges. However, Mugabe was granted diplomatic immunity by the Zimbabwean government, and she was able to return to the country without facing prosecution.
The incident was widely condemned by human rights groups and women's organizations, who called it a "shocking example of impunity" and a "blatant disregard for the rights of women and girls."
The incident also sparked a heated debate about the treatment of women in Zimbabwe and the lack of accountability for those in power. Many critics accused Mugabe and her husband of using their positions to avoid accountability and to silence their critics.
In the end, Mugabe was not charged or prosecuted for the assault, and she continued to hold significant influence in Zimbabwean politics until her husband's ouster in a military coup in 2017.
