Parental maintenance for children

It then discusses a variety of reforms required, together with the problems involved in the suggested remedies, and ends with a brief look at the advisability of a radical reform of the system It concludes that, unsatisfactory as aspects of the system a…
Only for the Wealthy? Assessing the Future for Children of Divorce
On divorce, the Family Advocate's Office inspects the records of all cases involving minor children, with the mandate of ensuring that the divorce settlement is in the best interests of the child and, if necessary, investigating the case. Alternatively, the parties or the court can request an investigation by the Office. However, problems arise when the parties cannot reach agreement with each other or with the recommendation of the Family Advoca…

Intergenerational family care
This is a study, based largely on a wide range of interviews, of the manifold effects of child care by grandparents in lower‐income multi‐generational families in Cape Town, and the wider implications of these findings for the long‐term effects of apartheid legislation, family and household patterns, and future welfare provision. The study revealed the particular but often hidden impact on the elderly of apartheid legislation in its many aspects,…

Growing up in a Divided Society
Growing up in a Divided Society
What does it mean to be a child in South Africa today? This question is answerable only in the context of arpartheid, the legalized separation of races that determines all aspects of life in that country. In Growing Up in a Divided Society, scholars from a wide range of disciplines explore the devastating, pervasive, and profound effects of apartheid and racism on the children of South Africa

Creating People's Justice
Ever since coming under colonial rule, Africans in South Africa have operated informal courts which the state courts have not recognized. Using fieldwork data, we contrast two such nonstate judicial structures in Cape Town. We describe the street committees, constituted by the older generation as a subsidiary form of local government coexisting uncomfortably alongside formal apartheid authorities. We then show the explosive consequences of the de…

Growing up in a Divided Society
Marriage Break-Up in South Africa
The South African socio-political system has given rise to a large number of remnant families, who are subdivided, like all the population, into differentially-treated subgroups. The study reported here investigated the effects for all remnant families of the discriminatory laws governing the courts, employment, housing, welfare grants, the legal recognition of different forms of marriage, and urban rights at the time of the research. Data from c…

Winning over the People
Closely associated with the Government's policy of dividing the chiefs was that of weaning their people away from them. So long as this policy proceded successfully, the danger of a revolt led by the chiefs continued to diminish. It was, however, a policy which required careful handling, for loyalty to one's chief was a basic virtue in Sotho society, although counterbalanced by a man's ultimate sanction of withdrawing his allegiance and joining a…
Prophesies
The Sotho apparently accepted the new code, as they had the old. At the pitso at which it was read to the nation, no objections were voiced except to the one pound deposit required when lodging an appeal.1 Yet despite such acquiescence, there were indications that not only the chiefs but the people were deeply disturbed by the changes introduced by the white man. They might swallow their grievances for the other advantages the new order gave them…
