The Western High Court rejected claims by the father of six, with a number of different women, that his estranged wife unilaterally drove to his rural home, despite his opposition.

Johannesburg - A senior opposition MP has been told that his almost decade-long customary marriage – that he now claims never took place – is valid.

According to the MP, the issue became a huge bone of contention between the couple and their respective families, to the extent that they bickered and quarrelled from then on and were only together until the end of 2012. ”The differences that we experienced in our relationship, which culminated to the ultimate breakdown of the relationship, were solely caused by the applicant’s repulsive and indifferent attitude towards my other children and my family,” he explained.

Even his mother denied that any marriage ceremony took place, that she dressed the estranged wife in her makoti attire, a sheep was slaughtered, that the woman was given a new name, as is tradition, and then sent to family elders to guide her through a process known as ukuyalwa.
