The Justice Department says more than R80 million of unclaimed child maintenance funds are sitting in their coffers.
The department has embarked on a process to track people who claimed child maintenance and wants them to visit the departments offices to get their money.
Holding a public hearing in KaBokweni, Mpumalanga, Justice Minister Mamoloko Kubayi said: Firstly, we are encouraging mothers or parents of children who are receiving the maintenance money to agree that this money must go directly into the accounts, because banks allow for you to open an account for a child so that money can go into that account, can be access easily and quickly.
