The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently viewing the Fernie 2 Community Hall in Mpuluzi to render services on the community.
SASSA are going to be rendering services for example new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer treatment enquiries, together with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency stated it truly is alarmed regarding the superior range of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The aim on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out into a high number of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This can be mainly because of the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there's no absolutely functional office dedicated to service the area on a daily basis. The services point produced for intervention encounters a high inflow of likely beneficiaries, which makes it difficult for the office to attend to all people who visit a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise additional sources to help the servicing of all buyers and increase use of Social Assistance solutions,” the agency said.
