Families in South Africa often rely on SASSA child grants to meet the basic needs of their children. Many families have faced difficulties accessing the funds needed due to delays and inconsistencies in the grant payment.

What Do I Need To Apply For SASSA Child Grant

There is a major system challenge with the Post Office payment system that causes SASSA child grants to be delayed and difficult to access. As a result of outages and technical challenges, the Post Office has had difficulty processing payments on time for grants distributed to recipients.

Postal Service staff are aware of the problem and working tirelessly to resolve it. Many recipients may find it difficult to access their funds during this time, as some reports indicate that it may take up to three days for the resolution to be complete.

SASSA’s Hotline at 0800601011 can help recipients immediately if they are still having trouble accessing their funds after three days. Children grant recipients experiencing difficulty accessing their funds or who have not received their payments should call this hotline. Professionals are available to assist recipients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on the hotline.

While their payments are being processed, recipients should remain patient and stay informed about their status. We are working closely with the Post Office to ensure all grant recipients receive their payments in a timely and efficient manner, and the Post Office is committed to resolving the issue as quickly as possible Furthermore, delays and inconsistencies in the SASSA payment process can severely impact the well-being of many South African families.
