The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the adoption by the Department of Justice to find and arrest maintenance defaulters.
DA MP Denise Robinson said child
maintenance is a legally binding agreement to be paid regularly and on time.
The DA said this idea was created by them
when they came into power in the Western Cape where they
prioritised the problem of men and women who do not pay their child
maintenance.
Failure to do so should carry real
consequences.
Robinson said the DA will assist the
department as much as we can but we want parents to know that when they have
children they must take responsibility for them always.
“We cannot have people defaulting on their
maintenance payments because the lives of children and their futures are
dependent on this. So we are working closely with the Justice Department also
with the Credit Bureaus and we will make sure that we help trace the people who
are defaulting” Robinson added.
