Who reads it
Muhammad Zaid, who writes and checks the guides on this site. See about us.

What should I include when reporting an error?

  1. The page. Paste the address of the page, or its title.
  2. What is wrong. Quote the sentence or figure you believe is incorrect.
  3. The source, if you have one. A link to the SASSA page or gazette that shows the correct information speeds things up considerably.

Confirmed errors are fixed and the page's Updated date is moved, as described in the editorial policy. Corrections are never made silently.

Who do I contact about my own application?

How do I make a privacy (POPIA) request?

Email us with "POPIA request" in the subject and say what you would like: to know what information is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to it being used. Requests are free and answered within 30 days. Because the site has no accounts or forms, it usually holds nothing more than an email you sent. Details are in the privacy policy.

What happens to messages you send?

Emails are read by Muhammad Zaid and used only to answer you or fix the page you reported. They are not shared, sold or added to any list, and are deleted once the matter is closed. Please do not send your ID number or banking details. See the privacy policy.
