All applicants must bring:
Additional documents depending on your grant type:

SASSA Service Delivery Activations are outreach events held at community venues across South Africa. Instead of beneficiaries having to travel to a SASSA office, SASSA brings its full team to a local venue such as a community hall, sports complex or shopping centre.
These events allow people to:
Multiple government departments typically attend alongside SASSA, which means a beneficiary can resolve a Home Affairs ID issue and apply for a grant in the same visit.
Service Delivery Activations are free to attend and no appointment is needed. You simply arrive, join the queue and wait for a SASSA official to assist you.
For a full explanation of how these events work, what to expect on the day and how to find future activations in your area, see our SASSA Service Delivery Activation guide.
This event is useful for you if you are in the Seshego or broader Limpopo area and:
Community members are welcome even if they just want information — SASSA officials will be available to answer questions about all grant types.
