The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently visiting the Fernie two Community Hall in Mpuluzi to render providers to the community.
SASSA is going to be rendering companies for instance new social grant applications, change of payment method, customer treatment enquiries, together with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency stated it is alarmed in regards to the significant quantity of people relying on social grants for survival.
“The intention in the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a substantial amount of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This can be as a result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no totally functional office committed to service the area regularly. The service issue designed for intervention experiences a high influx of opportunity beneficiaries, that makes it difficult for your office to attend to all people who go to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise additional assets to help the servicing of all shoppers and raise entry to Social Assistance solutions,” the agency said.
