Shupikai Chiroodza says the former first lady assaulted her for about 20 minutes because Robert Mugabe gave her a cash wedding present.
As AfriForum patiently awaits Grace Mugabe’s extradition to South Africa to face assault charges, it has emerged that the former Zimbabwe first lady has been accused of assaulting an employee in the family home in the capital Harare.
In May last year, the High Court in Pretoria set aside former international relations and cooperation minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane’s decision to grant diplomatic immunity to Mugabe following an incident in August 2017 when Mugabe allegedly assaulted South African model Gabriella Engels – who was in the company of Mugabe’s sons – with an extension cord.
Chiroodza, who was seconded to the Mugabe’s private residence on March 13, 2017, said she showed up for work as usual and found the first lady waiting for her. “She removed her shoes and continued assaulting me with them and blood started gushing out of my forehead, mouth and nose,” Chiroodza said.
