The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently checking out the Fernie 2 Local community Hall in Mpuluzi to render expert services to the community.
SASSA might be rendering expert services including new social grant applications, change of payment method, customer treatment enquiries, as well as the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency reported it truly is alarmed with regard to the large quantity of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The aim with the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to some large range of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is certainly as a result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there's no absolutely sassa status check functional office focused on service the area daily. The support place created for intervention encounters a higher influx of likely beneficiaries, that makes it complicated with the Workplace to attend to all people who visit a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise much more sources to allow the servicing of SRD all consumers and enhance entry to Social Assistance companies,” the agency said.
