For general SASSA information call the toll-free number 0800 60 10 11. Always consult the full vacancy advertisement on the SASSA website for the correct application address for each position.
Tips to Improve Your Chances
Many applicants struggle with incomplete forms or missing reference numbers. Double-check that your Z83 is fully completed and that the position name and reference number match the local office exactly.
Make sure your application reaches the correct SASSA office before 18 November 2026. Late applications are not considered. If you are applying for the re-advertised Noupoort post, you may submit a fresh application.
Competition exists for these five posts. Focus on meeting every listed requirement and providing clear, accurate information rather than expecting a guaranteed outcome.
Next Steps
Confirm that your qualifications match the NQF Level 6 fields listed. Download the New Z83 form, prepare your CV carefully, and note the correct reference number and delivery address from the full SASSA advert.
Submit your complete application by post or hand delivery well before the closing date of 18 November 2026. Taking these steps carefully gives your application the best chance of being considered.
