Disbursements Of Child Maintenance Funds Challenging

When presenting budget proposals for the Administration of Justice in Parliament for the financial year 2018/19, Kgathi stated that they were experiencing challenges to disburse the funds to beneficiaries on time due to the distance and cost of travel on beneficiaries to the established service points.

Any person who has guardianship or custody of a minor child claims child maintenance. However, Kgathi said this has proven to be difficult for the guardians to access the money on time because there is also lack of comprehensive data.
