Lusanda Bill
02 April 2015

The Democratic Alliance has expressed shock at the alleged turn-around of ANC Members of Parliament in the Justice and Correctional Services Portfolio Committee, regarding maintenance defaulters.

DA Interim Federal Leader of the Women’s Network Denise Robinson said parents who do not meet their financial obligations to their children should be penalized.

Robinson said everybody had agreed to the blacklisting of maintenance offenders but at the last minute the ANC said they would not agree to it and that the bill must be sent back for redrafting.  

“Now this is very concerning, our women and children are vulnerable all people who should be paying maintenance should be doing so. You have to take responsibility for your children” Robinson added.
