The MEC for Health and Social Development Mr. Seaparo Sekoati together with the Chief Executive Officer of South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) invite members of the media to the Media Cocktail

The leadership of SASSA is visiting the province to sort out matters affecting the establishment of SASSA. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is an extension of a government delivery arm that will administer the delivery of social grants to the poorest of the poor in South Africa. In essence, the agency is therefore mandated by the Cabinet to tackle complex issues of ensuring effective and efficient delivery of services of high quality with regard to management and administration of Social Grants, such that the entire process and system from application to receipt of social grants by beneficiaries is done in a manner that is sensitive, caring and restore the dignity of beneficiaries as well as the integrity of the whole system.
