As the South African Social Security Agency gears up for May 2024 payments, here’s the latest on SASSA offices nearest you. As we’ve reported regularly at The South African, many government grant transactions require you to visit SASSA offices nearest you.
You may need to collect funds, change banking details, or clarify any other issues. Therefore, you are not alone in wanting to find SASSA office nearest you. We are regularly contacted via our WhatsApp line. These people want to know why their payment has not been made. And where the nearest SASSA office to them can be found.
SASSA OFFICES NEAREST YOU
Great strides have been made with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which is transacted entirely online. However, most other grants require you to visit a SASSA office nearest, even when applying. Old-age pensioners, those with a disability and looking after a child find it difficult. As a result, getting to a SASSA office can be difficult if you’re in a rural areas and don’t have money for transport.
That’s actually why traditional leaders are calling on the agency to reverse the decision to close some cash points in rural areas. Nevertheless, according to SASSA Grant Status Check, there are more than 400 SASSA offices countrywide (including satellite branches). Note that they transact business between 08h00 to 17h00, Monday to Friday. And all are closed on weekends unless otherwise stipulated.
