Tips for Visiting a SASSA Office

Arrive early: SASSA offices open at 07:30 and close at 16:00. Queues can be very long, especially in the first week of each month. Arriving before 08:00 gives you the best chance of being served quickly.

Bring all documents: Always bring your original ID and any other relevant documents. Making multiple trips because of missing documents wastes your time.

Ask for a receipt: Always ask for a receipt or reference number for any transaction or application. This gives you proof of your visit and a way to follow up.

Know your rights: SASSA services are free. No one should charge you for any SASSA service or application. If someone asks for payment, report it to the SASSA fraud hotline.

Report Fraud

If you suspect fraud or corruption involving SASSA grants, you can report it through the following channels:

  • SASSA Fraud Hotline: 0800 60 10 11
  • National Anti-Corruption Hotline: 0800 701 701
  • Email: antifraud@sassa.gov.za

All reports can be made anonymously. You do not need to provide your name or contact details.
