Zimbabwe. NSSA targets US$60 equivalent monthly pension payouts
The National Social Security Authority (NSSA) says it expects the minimum pension to be equivalent to US$60 by the end of the year payable at the interbank rate.
The pensions authority, which recently announced a raft of measures to complement monthly pay-outs to its beneficiaries, has dispatched its state-of-the-art mobile clinic to the southern region to provide selected medical services to its pensioners.
NSSA general manager, Mr Arthur Manase, said the medical surveillance clinic will be in the region for the next 44 days.
“During our meeting with pensioner representatives that was held in Harare on March 24, the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Professor Paul Mavima, informed the meeting that NSSA would be utilising its mobile clinic and medical officers to serve our pensioners.
“We are doing this as part of measures to augment the monetary benefits, which we increased by 100 percent in April, with further increases expected in July and October. By year end we expect the minimum pension to be equivalent to US$60 payable at the interbank rate,” said Mr Manase.
