The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently visiting the Fernie 2 Community Hall in Mpuluzi to render providers towards the community.
SASSA will likely be rendering solutions which include new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer care enquiries, along with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency mentioned it's alarmed about the substantial number of people relying on social grants for survival.
“The goal on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to your superior quantity of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is as a result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no completely functional office committed to service the area daily. The service stage developed for intervention encounters a large influx of status sassa possible beneficiaries, that makes it tricky to the office to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise much more resources to help the servicing of all shoppers and enhance access to Social Assistance services,” the agency said.
