This forced SASSA to open other application channels such as the GovChat and the WhatsApp (0820468553) to beef up the process.

Initially the WhatsApp Channel was not responding leading to added frustrations.

But later it started functioning and now people are able to register. In deed the main sassa site used for registration ( https://srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/application/auth) is somewhat slow but far better than the earlier days.

With this new registration, applicants are given the chance to submit their bank account or preferred payment options in advance unlike the previous SRD where payment options was only available after approval.

When one successfully applies, an SMS confirmation is received on the phone number used to apply, to indicate the applicant’s application is active.
