The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently visiting the Fernie two Community Hall in Mpuluzi to render services towards the community.
SASSA is going to be rendering solutions such as new social grant applications, change of payment method, client care enquiries, along with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency mentioned it is alarmed about the higher amount of people relying on social grants for survival.
“The goal on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to your significant range of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is certainly due to the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no thoroughly functional office committed to service the area regularly. The service point created for intervention experiences a superior inflow of probable beneficiaries, that makes it hard for that office to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more sources to enable the servicing of all shoppers and raise entry to Social Assistance solutions,” the agency said.
