first wife

There is a conflicting affidavit painting a different picture that a trip to the North West took place during the week Mr Carrim was with his first wife, with the first wife unaware of the trip.

“a different picture is painted and what the deponents say later is that that trip to the North West took place during the week when Mr Carrim is with his first wife and so, says the deponent, she did not know about the trip and that is why she did not say anything about it”

It is implausible that Mr Carrim's wife would not know about the North West trip given their regular communication.

“it is implausible when we have regard to her own evidence that she communicates regularly with the first wife”

Mr Carrim's wife and first wife communicate regularly, specifically about Mr Carrim's well-being and health.

“what they communicate about is Mr Carrim's well-being ... And his health”

Mr Carrim did not travel to Mahikeng or any other location in the North West during the period since 13 April 2026 according to affidavits from his wife and others; a contrary affidavit says he did travel during the week in question with his first wife but this is disputed as implausible given regular communication between the wives.

“My husband undertook no other travel during this period and did not travel to Mahikeng or any other location in the North West”

It is implausible that Mr Carrim's second wife was unaware of the trip to the North West with his first wife, given regular communication between the two wives.

“that is implausible when we have regard to her own evidence that she communicates regularly with the first wife”

The regular communication between Mr Carrim's wives is focused on Mr Carrim's well-being and health, not every movement or travel.
