First Lady Grace Mugabe together with South African Minister for International Relations Maite Nkoana-Mashabane has been sued by Gabriella Engels, over the diplomatic immunity status which allowed Mugabe to leave South Africa without being arrested.

The two ladies have been served with fresh papers. However, in a new twist, Nkoana-Mashabane is quoted in South African media saying that granting Mugabe diplomatic immunity was the most painful experience.
