Die sluiting van die plaaslike kan\u00adtoor van die Suid-Afrikaanse Agent\u00adskap vir Maatskaplike Sekerheid (Sassa) het inwoners bekommerd oor die komende Kerstyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners is ontsteld nadat die kan\u00adtoor sy deur moes sluit op aandrang van die departement van arbeid. Di\u00e9 departement het gevind dat die Sassa-kantoor \u2019n gesondheidsgevaar inhou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mense wat hul vorms aan Sassa moes terugneem, moes voor dooiemansdeur terugdraai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weskus Nuus<\/i> het intussen vertroulik verneem dat Sassa R4 miljoen se huurgeld aan die Stad Kaapstad skuld en het daarom nie die gemeenskapsaal gekry om voorlopig uit te werk nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die pensioenaris, Katriena Pedlo (66), s\u00ea sy is baie bekommerd omdat sy haar doktersbrief moes inhandig en die amptenare weier nou om dit te vat omdat die kantoor toe is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Amptenaar van die Stad Kaapstad het in korrespondensie wat in Weskus Nuus <\/i>se besit is, geweier om Sassa te help met tydelike werksplek voor Sassa se \u201cskuld nie betaal is nie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die amptenaar het dit duidelik ge\u00admaak dat sy instruksies gekry het om onder geen omstandighede Sassa te help alvorens daar nie \u2019n bewys van betaling is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gaan nie kan pay nie<\/span>,<\/i> want hier sit ons steeds met die vorms en ons weet nie wat om te doen nie,\u201d het sowat 30 mense aan Weskus Nuus <\/i>ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie amptenare is onbeskof met ons en wou weet of ons nie kan lees dat die kantoor gesluit is nie,\u201d het een bejaarde vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sassa-begunstigdes, veral die ouer mense, is woedend omdat hulle nou geld moet uitgee om by Sassa se tydelike kantoor uit te kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inwoners moet nou tot in Mamre of Pella reis en kla hulle het skaars geld vir elektrisiteit waar moet hulle nog geld vir vervoer kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die 63-jarige John Titise s\u00ea hy was nie in kennis gestel dat die kantoor gaan toe wees nie en het maar op die dag uitgevind. Titise s\u00ea hy weet nie hoe hy met sy vorm gaan maak nie, want dit moes reeds in gewees het en hy vrees nou dat hy nie sy toelaag gaan kry nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Shivani Wahab, senior kommunikasiebestuurder van Sassa, moet die Stad eers die skade in die kantoor regmaak voor Sassa-werkers na hul kantoor kan terugkeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wahab s\u00ea raadslede is reeds in kennis gestel van die sluiting, maar raadslid Cynthia Clayton het Donderdag 22 No\u00advem\u00adber by \u2019n subraad 1-vergadering ges\u00ea sy het geen kommunikasie van Sassa ontvang nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wahab s\u00ea voorts inwoners kan steeds hul kaarte by die poskantoor gebruik en dat die agentskap kli\u00ebnte sal inlig sodra hulle \u2019n geskikte perseel kry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die sluiting van die plaaslike kan\u00adtoor van die Suid-Afrikaanse Agent\u00adskap vir Maatskaplike Sekerheid (Sassa) het inwoners bekommerd
