SASSA is taking proactive measures to extend its services to the Caroline township, strategically avoiding the potential overflow of beneficiaries at the Local Office.
This initiative aims to facilitate broader access to social assistance within the Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality, situated under the Gert Sibande District.
Caroline has a significant population relying on social grants, leading to a notable surge in visitors to the Local Office. The SASSA office catering to Caroline is approximately a 158-kilometer round trip, emphasizing the necessity of this outreach effort.
WHAT DOES THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM OFFER?
The Community Outreach program offers residents the opportunity to apply for various social grants, addresses specific COVID-19 grant inquiries, including the R350 grant, and provides assistance regarding payment methods.
The involvement of stakeholders such as the Department of Health, Social Development, Home Affairs, Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality, IEC, and banking institutions ensures a comprehensive range of services during the outreach.
