16. The Committee is concerned at how little has been allocated to the implementation of legislation that relates to vulnerable groups. The Child Justice Act, for example, creates an entirely new dispensation to deal with children who come into conflict with the law. Its aims are far-reaching. But only R30 million has been budgeted for its implementation. This is a concern, especially as the Department had costed implementing the Act at R 165 million. The Committee has been briefed on the Department's implementation plans but intends to continue to monitor the implementation of this and other legislation relating to vulnerable groups. Lack of resources will serious compromise the effective implementation of the Act.
