We call on SASSA to come back to Kriel and once again assist people at the community hall. Right now, SASSA no longer comes, and many people in our area are left with no easy way to get help with their grants and related services.
For many of us, travelling to a nearby town is not simple. We have to pay for taxis or find a way to drive there, and that costs money we do not have. When people are already struggling, the extra expense of commuting makes it even harder to sort out grant matters on time. This creates stress, delays, and more hardship for families and vulnerable people in the community.
Kriel needs a local SASSA service point that people can reach without spending so much on transport. Bringing SASSA back to the community hall would make it easier for residents to get assistance close to home, save money, and avoid unnecessary travel. It would show real care for the people who depend on these services most.
We ask SASSA to restore its presence in Kriel and make sure the community hall is once again a place where people can come for help. Our community should not be left to carry the cost and burden of travelling far just to access basic support.
