The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will touch base with Bushbuckridge residents by bringing the social security and social assistance services to their doorsteps through a multi-stakeholder integrated outreach programme, Integrated Community Registration Outreach Programme (ICROP).
The ICROP is aimed at reaching out to all communities by educating them and offering services on the day.
The programme will be led by the MEC for Social Development, Nompumelelo Hlophe and the Regional Executive Manager, Abraham Mahlangu.
“SASSA targeted Oakley in the Bushbuckridge Local Municipality because it is a great client catchment area which includes many surrounding villages which are largely rural.
This Programme will also serve as a one-stop shop for our clients as most of the value chain role players and stakeholders will be present on display and provide services during a single visit to the event. Enquiries and complaints will be taken and resolved on the day. This is part of SASSA and its stakeholders commitment to take services to the people on a single integrated platform” said Mahlangu.
