GUEST - Charles Mohalaba DDG: Court Administration at the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.
With 70% of parents defaulting on child maintenance in the first two years of the court order, the department of justice and Social Justice Foundation are going ahead with a plan to blacklist defaulters with credit bureaus. The two entities and the Consumer Profile Bureau signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday to have defaulting parents blacklisted. The move will take some time to come into full effect, however, as the state needs to develop a system to facilitate it.
