In a press release, the agency claimed it's alarmed regarding the large number of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The aim from the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is more info to reach-out to your large range of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.

“This is as a result of lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there's no absolutely functional office committed to service the area regularly. The assistance issue created for intervention ordeals a substantial influx of potential beneficiaries, that makes it challenging for your office to attend to all people who visit a service point.

“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise additional assets to empower the servicing of all prospects and maximize use of Social Assistance products and services,” the agency said.
