27 February 2009
Further to the commitments that were made on the occasion of the signing of
the Service Level Agreement between the Department of Social Development (DSD)
and South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) as well as the commitments of
the Budget Vote Speech 2008/2009, the MEC for Social Development, the
Honourable Ouma Tsopo in partnership with SASSA, Department of Home Affairs
(DHA), the South African Police Services (SAPS) have embarked on an outreach
campaign to widen access to grants and other social services to the people of
the Free State.
This campaign has by now reached most towns of the Free State in order to
ensure that no Free Stater who is a South African goes on living without access
to documentation that enables them to access critical life sustaining social
services.
The partnership that makes all this work possible is made up of the
Department of Home Affairs, the South African Social Security Agency, the South
African Police Services together with the Department of Social Development and
supported by the municipality, all these shall be ensuring that all eligible
persons are registered for grants as well as giving information on how to
access social welfare and community development services.
