Recently appointed head of the South African Social Security Agency Virginia Peterson will implement a number of strategies to turn the organisation around to improve service to beneficiaries of government assistance.
Addressing the media in Pretoria, Peterson said she would start by introducing a new payment system to reduce the massive R6 billion administration cost of social grants and pensions.
Peterson says it will come up with several interventions to stop elderly social grant beneficiaries from being targeted by loan sharks.
She adds that her organization will be working closely with the Social Development Department to educate beneficiaries about the dangers of dealing with loan sharks.
