The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently going to the Fernie two Local community Hall in Mpuluzi to render services on the community.
SASSA will likely be rendering providers such as new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer care enquiries, along with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency reported it's alarmed in regards to the substantial amount of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The goal from the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a higher amount of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is as a result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no fully functional office focused on service the area every day. The services stage designed for intervention ordeals a high inflow of likely beneficiaries, which makes it difficult for that website office to attend to all people who go to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise extra sources to help the servicing of all buyers and raise usage of Social Assistance companies,” the agency said.
