Deputy Speaker, maybe we should say it is a verification process and not a registration process. Firstly, a comprehensive communication strategy that will ensure that all beneficiaries are informed and educated about the process of reregistration has been developed by the SA Social Security Agency, Sassa.
The strategy entails reaching beneficiaries through different modes of communication, including but not limited to the following: Letters to individual beneficiaries providing full details of the processes; media briefings by the officials, which is already happening; communication via television and radio, which is already done by myself and then Minister; and distribution of pamphlets at all Sassa local offices, taxi ranks, schools and other public places. All these combined will ensure that all beneficiaries are reached, and will thus minimise misperceptions and concerns that are likely to arise.
Lastly, yes, there is a plan or mechanism in place to support the reregistration. Sufficient resources will be deployed for the reregistration. The deployment of the resources is based on scientific calculations based on the numbers and location of our beneficiaries in relation to the minimum distance they have to travel to the place of registration. To further ease the tension, most registration locations are situated closer to the current pay point locations that beneficiaries are accustomed to visiting during their pay days and are familiar with. There are no additional details, except that things will become evident as the process unfolds. If there are problems, there are numbers to call: for CPS it is 0800 600 160 and for Sassa it is 0800 6010 11. I thank you. [Applause.]
