GCIS to brings services closer to communities

Sunday, November 3, 2024

The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) will host its annual Government Exhibition Day (GED) in KwaZulu-Natal.

The exhibition day will bring government services closer to communities.

“The Government Exhibition Day is a continuation of the commitment by government to ensure that critical information regarding government services and their provision is accessible to all citizens,” the GCIS said on Saturday.

The event, which will take place on Wednesday, 06 November in Umgababa, highlights the work of Thusong Service Centres, which are a one-stop-shop for government services as a means to centralise service provision for communities that are far flung.

It will take place at the Umnini Thusong Centre from 9: 30 am.

At the GED, relationships with community members will be strengthened by facilitating face-to-face conversations and delivery of essential services that include: 
•    Department of Home Affairs: Assistance with ID issuance, birth certificate registration and other identity-related services.
•    Department of Labour: Consultation on labour related matters.
•    SASSA: Registration for grants, including social grants and enquiries on grants-in-aid.
