The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently checking out the Fernie 2 Neighborhood Hall in Mpuluzi to render companies to the community.
SASSA is going to be rendering providers such as new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer care enquiries, in addition to the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency reported it can be alarmed in regards to the higher range of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The purpose with the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to some superior variety of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is certainly due to lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no completely functional office committed to service the area on a daily basis. The services stage designed for intervention activities a significant influx of probable beneficiaries, which makes it challenging for the Workplace to attend to all people who check out a service point.
“In here this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more resources to enable the servicing of all clients and improve usage of Social Assistance products and services,” the agency said.
