By Paul Nyathi|Judgment has been reserved in the case against the granting of diplomatic immunity to former Zimbabwean first lady, Grace Mugabe.

South African opposition party the Democratic Alliance and pressure group AfriForum are asking the court to set aside government’s decision.

Mugabe is accused of assaulting Gabriella Engels and hotel staff in Johannesburg last year.

Government is arguing it didn’t grant her immunity.

It says it only recognised Mugabe’s existing diplomatic standing.
