The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently viewing the Fernie two Neighborhood Hall in Mpuluzi to render services to the community.

SASSA are going to be rendering services such as new social grant applications, change of payment method, customer care enquiries, plus the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.

In a statement, the agency stated it is alarmed in regards to the significant variety of people relying on social grants for survival.
“The intention in the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a substantial amount of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.

“This can be due to lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no completely functional office committed to service the area on a daily basis. The service point established for intervention ordeals a substantial influx of likely beneficiaries, that makes it difficult with the Workplace to attend to all people who take a look at a service point.

“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise more methods to empower the servicing of status sassa all shoppers and maximize usage of Social Assistance expert services,” the agency said.
