The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently visiting the Fernie 2 Neighborhood Hall in Mpuluzi to render solutions to the community.
SASSA are going to be rendering services like new social grant applications, change of payment method, client care enquiries, together with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency reported it truly is alarmed with regards to the large number of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The purpose on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a substantial quantity of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“That is due to the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no absolutely functional office focused on service the area daily. The service position established for intervention experiences a superior inflow of possible beneficiaries, that makes it tough for that Workplace to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise far more means to enable the servicing of all consumers and raise usage of Social Assistance services,” the agency said.
