SASSA Service Office - Citizen
1 October 2016 - 30 November 2016
Key Challenges Identified
- Public information regarding documentation needed for grant applications to minimise the number of visits to SASSA & travelling costs
- Greater awareness on Regulation 11 – alternative forms of identification
- SASSA to service farms better – spend longer hours in farms servicing farm dwellers
- Long distances to travel to the service point – too far from community needing SASSA’s services
- SASSA to cater for Afrikaans speaking community – often there’s no SASSA official speaking Afrikaans and the majority of this community is Afrikaans speaking
