SASSA has been responsible for issuing South Africans with necessary social grants from 2005, when the grant scheme started.
The agency has become the sole source of income for many South African citizens today, offering grants ranging from disability grants, to old persons grants, child support grants among others.
The following is a list of SASSA offices that can be found in the Northern Cape and their relevant contact details for residents of the province to access:

However, even in an age where everything can be done online, some people may need to access the SASSA offices in-person to complete registration or for any other SASSA-related queries.
