Cape Town - The South African Human Rights Commission is meeting with the minister of Social Development this week to discuss permanent solutions to prevent the chaos seen outside payout points for those reapplying for temporary disability grants.
Human Rights Commissioner Chris Nissen said the first step was to meet with the City of Cape Town and regional Sassa management this week. On Friday, he visited the Eerste River Sassa payout point and said he was encouraged by the measure put in place to speedily assist everyone in the queue. In a report-back briefing to the Western Cape Parliament Social Development Committee, Sassa regional head Bandile Maqetuka assured MPs that the agency has the situation under control.
He said: “A reduced amount of R500 per person will be provided to approved applicants only, as the amount of money for SRD is limited. The support will only be provided while the clients are waiting to be assessed and subject to them completing an application which must comply with legislative prescripts.”
And a very expensive lesson opening up SA borders to one after another failed country in Africa 🤔
SASSA must just admit they are broke, we will bail them out than this dirty tricks - trying to buy time with our people's lives. Remember they 1st have to cure at hospitals to get medical certificate to submit to Sassa. Cadre have no mercy
