international relations and cooperation minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane. Vally
said Nkoana-Mashabane's decision had been inconsistent with provisions in the
constitution.
The ministry has also been ordered to pay the costs of the
application‚ brought by the Democratic Alliance (DA).
The wife of former president Robert Mugabe was accused of
assaulting South African model Gabriella Engels at a Johannesburg hotel‚ where
Mugabe's two sons were staying.
