“The aim sassa status check on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to the substantial number of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.

“This can be a result of the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there's no completely functional office committed to sassa service the area regularly. The service stage designed for intervention ordeals a high influx of possible beneficiaries, which makes it tricky to the office to attend to all people who check out a service point.
