DISTRIBUTED BY VERITAS TRUST Tel: [263] [4] 794478 Fax & Messages [263] [4] 793592 E-mail: veritas@mango.zw 8 Veritas makes every effort to ensure the provision of reliable information, but cannot take legal responsibility for information supplied. Judgment No. SC 37/18 Civil Appeal No. SC 433/16 [15] She denied that the $600 per month that the appellant paid at some stage was misused, stating that it is not possible for three people to misuse that amount which translates to $20 per day. On the expenses claimed by the respondent, she averred that the respondent has allocated $350 for his own food per month but expects the appellant and the two minor children to survive on less than that figure. He does not explain why it is necessary for him to rent premises and produces no proof in respect of the rent he receives for the former matrimonial house. She denied that the payslips produced by the respondent correctly reflect his entire income, or that they are consistent with his lifestyle. As regards the income of $1 500 per month mentioned in one of her letters, she stated that the figure represented her total income position, inclusive of a thirteenth cheque, $200 fuel allowance and the annual contribution of $2 000 paid by the respondent. She reiterated that the divorce settlement was not fair and that she will be bringing a separate action to revisit the settlement. [16] She attached a copy of a schedule which she says was prepared by the respondent in support of an application for a loan to purchase the Azari property in Mauritius. She came into possession of the document after the respondent had filed his opposing papers. The document reflects the estimates of the values of his assets and a net worth of over $6 million and annual income totalling about $985 000. As regards the offer by the respondent to pay $300 per month per child, she submitted that this is not a compromise at all, as the total figure that will be available to the family is $557, from which she will be expected to meet all the food and children’s requirements. She attached further documents which reflect various bank accounts in the respondent’s name with banks in South Africa, Australia and other places.
