The Department of Social Development, South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) and National Development Agency (NDA) will be rolling out the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme (ICROP). This programme will be led by the Minister of Social Development Honourable Sisisi Tolashe, accompanied by the Mpumalanga MEC for social development Ms N Hlophe and the Executive Mayor of Victor Khanye Local Municipality. This successful initiative ensures that underprivileged communities access SASSA services without travelling long distances and contributes to poverty reduction.
This programme also assists the social development sector in connecting directly with beneficiaries on the grounds that it assists in improving communication between the Agency and beneficiaries.
The Victor Khanye Local Municipality (Delmas) area is targeted because of multiple social challenges that continue to affect the well-being of community members. High levels of unemployment and poverty have led to a rise in social problems such as substance abuse, crime and teenage pregnancy. These challenges are further compounded by limited access to economic opportunities. As a result, a large portion of the population relies heavily on social grants for survival. Estimated statistics of social grant beneficiaries around the area is 18,482.
During this event, the Agency will be rendering services such as grant application, reviews, attending all enquiries including SRD R370 grant. A number of about 14 various government departments, NGOs, state entities and financial institutions will be providing their services to the people and empowerment information.
The ICROP is scheduled as follows:
