Miguna was deported in 2018 after presiding at an unofficial swearing in ceremony for Raila Odinga who claimed to have beaten President Raila Odinga in a 2017 election.

Miguna Miguna has tried unsuccessfully to return home from exile in Canada where he holds citizenship.

This time he was barred from entering a flight from Frankfurt to Nairobi because of a red alert issued by the Kenyan  government at the time of his deportation.

The Nairobi High Court today ordered the government  effectively to lift that red alert keeping Miguna from coming home

The South-African-born second wife of President Robert Mugabe allegedly assaulted a 20-year-old woman she  found in a Johannesburg hotel room with her sons on Sunday.

Mugabe himself has  arrived in South Africa to attend a regional summit. His wife is seeking diplomatic immunity.

With a plaster covering a wound that’s received 14 stitches on her forehead, 20-year-old model and nightclub hostess Gabriella Engels remained silent as members of a right-wing civil rights group Afriforum said they were representing her legally.

Afriforum CEO Kallie Kriel says Engels was offered a blank cheque from the Mugabe family to drop the charge she’s laid against the first lady of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Engels has rejected the offer.

Former top prosecutor Gerrie Nel – the man who led the State’s case against paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius for killing his girlfriend – has been engaged by Afriforum.

Nel says they’ll initiate a private prosecution if the State fails to act against Mugabe.

Police Minister Fikile Mbalule says police cannot arrest Grace Mugabe, who’s sheltering in a Johannesburg mansion,  until the Department of International Relations and Cooperation has ruled on her application for diplomatic immunity.

Meanwhile all borders are being closely watched to prevent the first lady  leaving Siyth Africa.
