GROOTMOEDERS IN KAYAMANDI SE ERVARING VAN FAMILIEPLEEGSORG
DOI:

Pleegplasings by familie as vorm van substituutsorg, is die vinnigs groeiende kindersorgdiens indie Verenigde State van Amerika (voorts genoem die VSA) as gevolg van ’n afname in geskikte
pleegouers (Wilson & Chipunga, 1996:387). Dieselfde tendens word in Suid-Afrika ondervind.
Volgens die Witskrif vir Welsyn (Ministry for Welfare and Population Development, 1997) neem
versorging van kinders buite hul biologiese ouerhuise toe. Die Discussion Paper van die
Kinderwet ( no 74 van 1983) beaam dat die veranderde sosio-ekonomiese behoeftes in Suid-Afrika
lei tot ’n afname in geskikte pleegouers (SA Law Commission, 2002:713). Die gebrek aan
navorsing (Strydom, 2003:302) oor bejaardes was ’n bydraende motivering om die ervaring van
die grootmoeder as familiepleegouer te ondersoek.
