Parents forced to take responsibility

President Jacob Zuma signed the Maintenance Amendment Act into law recently after it was passed by the National Council of Provinces. 

The aim of the Act is to improve the maintenance system.

The Department of Justice said the amendment of the Maintenance Act 1998 (Act No. 99 of 1998) has been its major priority as it will ensure that parents take responsibility for the upbringing of their children.

Restoring hope to families

Single parenting can be a tough and challenging experience and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, through its Operation Isondlo, continues to ensure that those responsible for paying maintenance are obliged to do so for their children’s well-being.
