The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently viewing the Fernie 2 Local community Hall in Mpuluzi to render expert services towards the community.
SASSA are going to be rendering companies for example new social grant applications, change of payment method, customer treatment enquiries, along with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency explained it's alarmed with regard to the significant quantity of people depending on social grants for survival.
“The aim of the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a large amount of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This really is as a more info result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no totally functional office devoted to service the area on a daily basis. The provider issue produced here for intervention experiences a high influx of possible beneficiaries, which makes it tough for your office to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more sources to allow the servicing of all customers and improve access to Social Assistance providers,” the agency said.
