The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently checking out the Fernie 2 Community Hall in Mpuluzi to render services on the community.
SASSA will probably be rendering services such as new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer care enquiries, plus the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency reported it truly is alarmed with regards to the large amount of people depending on social grants for survival.
“The goal with the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to some significant number of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This really is mainly because of the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no sassa status completely functional office devoted to service the area every day. The support place developed for intervention encounters a substantial inflow of likely beneficiaries, which makes it hard for that Workplace to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise far more assets to empower the servicing of all shoppers and raise use of Social Assistance expert services,” the agency said.
