SA seals borders to stop Grace

THE South African government yesterday issued a “red alert” to bar Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe from leaving that country after allegations she assaulted a model she found partying with her sons, as it emerged that a third party tried to pay the victim of the assault, but was rebuffed.

Afrikaaner rights group AfriForum, which has taken up model Gabriella Engels’ case, revealed the attempted payoff at a Press conference in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“The family has been approached by a third party,” AfriForum’s Gerrie Nel, who gained superstardom for the prosecution of athlete Oscar Pistorius, said.
