Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1. I have battled since May to register online. I went 6 times to the Midrand offices on Mondays just to stand in a queue for hours and nobody in the offices. This is really frustrating as we have to loan money for fuel and we are getting nowhere. My husband received a pin immediately but when he tries to upload the PDF scanned forms, it returns with a message that he will receive an email. I tried in June and was told to link my documents but, it return with a message invalid as soon as I started. I also saw a telephone number on the form which is not mine. So please investigate.

2. I got the message that, I am blocked from SASSA website but I found a message that, I must check my status I did not know it was not legit until I found out as they say, I am a scam and I am on greylisted. Please put me back on whitelist. I now learned that the message was not from SASSA.

3. This Grand thing is a joke. The president said its available to apply online and now the is no page that gives people access, all the websites that were given to people are false information. I went to SASSA offices, they told there is no such thing. Stop playing with people’s lives.
