The Minister of Employment and Labour, Nomakhosazana Meth, recently visited Kuyga Community Hall as part of a collaborative outreach initiative to deliver critical services directly to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnering with the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, SASSA, the Departments of Social Development, and Home Affairs, the event aimed to bridge the gap between government services and the residents of Kuyga.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community members were encouraged to bring their CVs, ID books, and passports to access a range of services, including support for UIF claims, assistance with workplace injuries, labour-related complaints, and registration on the job seeker database. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SASSA officials were on hand to assist with social grant applications, while Home Affairs provided collection services for ID documents.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her visit, Meth toured the service stalls to monitor progress and praised the collaborative effort that made the outreach possible. Officials reported that 302 residents successfully registered on the job-seeker database during the event, a significant step toward connecting community members with employment opportunities.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing attendees, the minister highlighted the importance of taking services to communities far removed from government offices. “We are bringing services to you by working together with various departments. This will not be the last time we come here – you have the right to access these services,” she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minister also took time to engage directly with residents, offering words of encouragement. “While challenges remain, I urge you to remain hopeful and prayerful as you continue to seek employment opportunities,” she said, reinforcing the government’s commitment to improving access and support for communities in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
