The Department of Justice and Correctional Services says it s coming for child maintenance defaulters who don t want to be found.
The department will soon implement a new system using various online databases and information hubs to track and trace parents who refuse to pay child maintenance.
It plans to use CIPC company registrations, cell numbers registered with network service providers, credit bureau info, vehicle registrations, and other paper trails to find maintenance defaulters.
The department s Josephine Peta says the new system will help the courts finalise more cases and assess the finances of those errant parents who should be paying child support.
