    I wish I can know when I’m going to get mine coz we hv a problem with electricity maybe they will phone n find my phone of coz sometimes the electricity took the whole day to be back at least if I can know the date

    • Wena uzodlelwa imali ndiyakuxelela. Uzokwazi njani uba ngenene lo mntu ufownayo usuka kwaSASSA? They said everything will be done electrically. That means the same way owenze ngayo is the same way abazo kucontacta ngayo. No calls. Don’t accept anyone who’s calling to say they’re from SASSA.

  2. When I check my status it say failed..what might be the problem now or I don’t qualify?😔💔

  3. Tlangelani on

    Why mine is saying failed where as I’m not working and there is no grant that I’m reicieving so far,pls clarify.

  4. I emailed proof of unemployment together with attached documents to prove im unemployed as well as a born South African and i desperately Need this fund to be able to provide for my family. Totally devastated when my message shows “failed”

    • U didnt hv to attach any documents they said documentation slows down de system. If u r really unemployed de system wil recognize u by ur Id number even if u r getting any other grant de system wil stil recognize u

    • Hi Ebie.. I suggest try again but type in your I. D. number and address etc. you dont need to attach any documents anymore.. you’l then recieve an auto response, click the link then fill on the form on the website

  5. Puseletso on

    Even mine says “pending” nd it’s been weeks nw😢😢😢 khathi e tsamaya jwang dis .

  6. What does pending imply. Does it imply that I am on the waiting list or what? And if that is the case am I going to get the payment for both Months i.e May and June at a go.

  7. I appied for my brother, now when I chev the application status using the link provided nd punch in his ID number and phone number and I click on submit it says failed. I need answers. My brother really needs the money.

    • Double check the number you used when you were applying meaning the simcard you were using completing the application

  8. Mine says failed too, I dont understand? Was my application unsuccessful coz I dont receive any financial benefits from the government. I also dont work for months now. This is so confusing because even when I try to call SASSA on the toll free number the number is always busy. And when I check watsapp it says my status is still being retrieved. PLEASE ADVISE

  9. I dd get message but I didn’t put my acc number bcs its on big negative with only phone numbers is it possible to receive it via e wallet?

  20. Have been approved now for a week waiting on an atm pin or a way to withdraw the money without a bank account then I read I must wait on a phone call really fed up wth this government shit I mean we supposed to be helped but all they doing is making a person stress

  21. Sassa really needs to come up with better solution for this why is it pay only 100,000 people we have many people who lookup to this money promised by government

    • The government is failing us, they can’t even keep their promises, also sassa is rendering a poor service

    I applied using girlfriend phone, mine had water damage at the time, and used the for another person option. When i checked using my number it said failed but when I used her number it said pending however she gets child grant and they are not my kids.

    hi guys how do I check that my application had been approved please help

    • Also approved with link to insert bank details but link does not work same problem here

    • Government is failing the hungry and needy people of SA, They have promised us to at least have hope of getting R350 its little but because we are unemployed, we were hoping to at least getting that it would have make a difference, we don’t have money to buy data to check for this nonsense

  36. According to my knowledge the word “pending” means something is waiting to be dealt with or..

  37. Emmanuel on
