Cape Town - Child maintenance defaulters might find themselves a little red-faced if Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and Social Develop MEC Patricia de Lille have their way.
The two announced on Wednesday that their government has joined forces with the department of justice in identifying maintenance defaulters.
“(We will) publish the names of all untraced defaulters over the 16 day period – so that communities can participate in locating defaulters and securing their appearance in court,” Zille’s spokesperson Tracé Venter said in a statement.
The names of all the beneficiaries of these monies will also be published so that they can benefit from it.
The premier handed out a list to the media of hundreds of mothers who had gone to courts looking for maintenance monies from the fathers of their children.
The names of these mothers will also be published in the hopes that they will come forward to receive the money due to them.
Zille said that the programme was all about making “16 Days…” more than “just symbolic” but something that’s put into action.
