SASSA to service a rural area with high volume of unemployment population
South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga will bring its services to Marapyane community rural area located within Nkangala district and have a high volume of unemployment. Most of the communities in the area and surroundings are depending on social grants for survival, mostly in the SASSA database as beneficiaries. These services will be offered during the Integrated Community Registration Outreach (ICROP).
Communities will have a full access to all SASSA services and get an opportunity to apply for social grants .Beneficiaries who wishes to change the payment method to their banks of choice will be assisted on the spot. All spheres of government, relevant stakeholders and financial institutions will be available to offer their services.
The Agency is taking its services to Marapyane because there is a temporal service point that operates from Monday to Friday, 09:00 – 15:00. This service point provides services to five out of 31 wards with a total of 17 villages within 30KM radius. As a result, the local office saw a need to conduct an ICROP with intend to reduce the intake backlog, overcrowding and long traveling by clients to other nearby SASSA offices.
