The department of social development has noted that due to high volumes of applications, the WhatsApp channel is currently undergoing technical difficulties. Furthermore, the SASSA Website is receiving applications but the service is slower than usual due to the amount of clients applying through this channel.
SASSA has added two new online channels to the roll-out, namely https://govchat.app/login and on Facebook messenger https://www.facebook.com/govchat.org.
These digital platforms are now open to receive applications for the new Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant.
Applicants are reminded that they can apply through the whole month of August to be considered for August.
