This Ronald Bafukawa was not a party to the suit but claimed that as a guarantor to the loan, the outcome in the head suit, and this application was likely to affect him, and accordingly had sworn this affidavit in s u pport of this application. The affidavit does not show that he was authorised by the parties/applicants to swear this affidavit in support of this application. Mr. Bafukawa Ronald is a stranger to the current proceedings.

Similarly, the mere statement in the defence of a new agreement with, be it noted, no particular s as to the parties, the date, the circumstances and the reason for the new agreement, which statement by Mr. Sirley did not see fit to substantiate by affidavit on which he could have been cross examined, would not suffice to raise a triable issue.
