People ask me daily “How to apply for Brother Sasa R370?”

Some can’t figure out which website to use, some say they need an app, and some send documents to random numbers on WhatsApp without verification.

Many people are tired of checking statuses, and some people are not even able to apply because they get caught with the wrong number, wrong ID, or fall victim to fraud agents.

Once I saw an aunty applying from a cyber cafe – they took R150 and gave a fake reference number. The aunty kept waiting for two months. When you told me, I applied it myself using a simple phone call – for free, and correctly.

That’s why I’m writing this guide – in my own words, step by step.

Sassa Srd R370 Grant Payment Delays

The most frustrating thing is Approval is writte but the money has not been sent.

People check the status every day, go to the website or USSD code again and again and see approved is written but the payment date is blank.

A girl messaged me, she got approved in June, but July came and the amount was zero. When I spoke to her, she only said one line:

“Brother, the system has approved the money, but has not sent it.”

This is a delay in payment, and unfortunately, it is very common in the SASSA SRD grant system.

Why Payments Get Delayed

1. System is Approved, but Payment Schedule is Pending
   Approval means you are eligible.
   But SASSA releases the payment date from a separate system — when funds are transferred.
2. Bank Verification Issue
   If your name, ID, or bank details do not match correctly, the money is put on hold.
   Sometimes the bank account is verified, but remains stuck in “awaiting payment” status.
3. Technical Delays (System Backlog)
   SASSA’s system auto-checks every month. Sometimes it gets overloaded, and the payment cycle gets delayed.
4. Weekend, Public Holiday, or Banking Cut-Off
   Sometimes money is released, but if there is a weekend or holiday – then the bank processes it on the next working day.

What Should You Do If Payment Is Delayed?

Check Status Regularly Visit: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/status
