        No, your statement is misleading. People like Grace Mugabe are exceptions. She is an ill-disciplined thug. S.A. citizens will deal with her.

        She received immunity only from the S.A. govt of which the political leadership is no different.To S.African citizens she remains a thug.

        It should be obvious that she had diplomatic immunity. Also, always provide balanced and full stories when reporting. #Zimbabwe #Africa

        Diplomatic immunity was fabricated by the S.A. Dept of International Relations. Immunity needs to be applied for prior to arriving in S.A.

        Immunity was gazetted several days after her arrival. It is your view that is unbalanced. Stop misleading readers with your propaganda.
