The Welfare Laws Amendment Act 106 of 1997 intends:

- to broaden the provisions granting exemption to certain categories of persons who may care for certain children apart from their parents for a period longer than 14 days; and
- to remove the provisions that overlap with the provisions of the Social Assistance Act, 1992, that provide for state contributions to the maintenance by foster parents of foster children;
- to amend the Social Assistance Act, 1992 [repealed in 2006], so as
- to provide for uniformity of, equality of access to, and effective regulation, of social assistance throughout the Republic;
- to introduce the child-support grant;
- to do away with cavitation grants;
- to abolish maintenance grants subject to the phasing out of existing maintenance grants over a period not exceeding three years;
