Isibonelelo SeSASSA Senqatshwa? Izizathu Ezi-5 Zangempela Abawinile Abavunyelwa Ngazo ngo-2025

Ubambekile ngesimo se-SRD grant esithi ‘Senqatshwa’ ku-SASSA? Lokhu akuyona ukuphela. Siveza amasu aphambili angu-5 abafaki zicelo abaphumelelayo abawasebenzisayo ngoZibandlela (December) 2025 ukuze bahlunge uhlelo, baqonde izizathu zokwenqatshwa, futhi ekugcineni bavunyelwe. Funda okungakutshelwa yi-SASSA mayelana ne-‘means test’, ukuqinisekiswa kobunikazi, nokunye.

Ubuhlungu Bokuthi ‘Senqatshwa’: Kungani Isicelo Sakho SeSASSA Siwehlule NgoZibandlela 2025

Ulinde isikhathi eside, uqinisekisa isimo sakho nsuku zonke, kodwa wabona lelo gama elilodwa, elibuhlungu: ‘Senqatshwa’. Kubo bonke abantu baseNingizimu Afrika abathembela kusibonelelo se-R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD), lokhu kuyingozi enkulu, ikakhulukazi njengoba sibheke ku-2026. Kodwa kuthiwani uma sikutshela ukuthi ‘Senqatshwa’ akuyona njalo isinqumo sokugcina? Ngokuvamile, kuyindida engaxazululeka. Uhlelo luyinkimbinkimbi futhi aluthetheleli, kodwa lunezinhlelo. Abafaki zicelo abaphumelelayo—labo abavunyelwa inyanga nenyanga—abazimane nje banenhlanhla. Baqonda imithetho efihlekile yalo mdlalo. Lo mhlahlandlela awumayelana nokufaka isicelo kabusha nje; umayelana nokuguqula indlela yakho. Sizokukhombisa amasu ayisihlanu (5) ahlukanisa ‘Abavunyelwe’ ku ‘Abenqatshiwe’ ngo-2025.

Icebo #1: Hlukanisa Izizathu Zokwenqatshwa Eziyindida ZeSASSA

Izizathu zokwenqatshwa kwe-SASSA zingazizwa njengolimi lwangaphandle. Ukuze uwine, kufanele uluqonde lolu limi. Ake sihumushe izizathu ezivame kakhulu zokwehluleka ngo-2025:

• ‘Umthombo Wemali Ohlukile Uboniwe’ (Alternative Income Source Identified): Lesi isizathu esingaqondwa kahle. AKUSHO ukuthi unomsebenzi osemthethweni. Uhlelo luskena i-akhawunti yakho yasebhange (exhumene nenombolo yakho ye-ID) nganoma yikuphi ukungena kwemali okwedlula umkhawulo ka-R624 ngenyanga. Lokhu kungaba yisipho sika-R700 esivela esihlotsheni, inkokhelo yomsebenzi omncane owenziwe kanye, noma ukubuyiselwa kwemali (refund). Abawinile bayakwazi lokhu futhi baqikelela ngezinto ezenzeka ebhange labo. Baqinisekisa ukuthi imali engenayo yanyanga zonke, kusuka kunoma yimuphi umthombo, ayiweli ngaphezu kwalowo mkhawulo.
• ‘Ukuqinisekiswa Kobunikazi Kwehlulek’ (Identity Verification Failed): Lokhu kuzwakala sengathi wenze iphutha lokuthayipha, kodwa ngokuvamile kujule kakhulu. I-SASSA iqhathanisa isicelo sakho ne-database yoMnyango Wezindaba Zasekhaya (DHA). Uma igama lakho, isibongo, noma inombolo ye-ID ingafani ngqo namarekhodi e-DHA, uyenqatshwa. Lokhu kuvamile kubantu abasanda kushada noma abanamaphutha emibhalweni yabo ye-ID. Abawinile abacabangi; baqinisekisa imininingwane yabo nge-DHA ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo.
• ‘U-UIF Ubhalisiwe’ (UIF Registered) noma ‘NSFAS Ubhalisiwe’: Kungenzeka ukuthi wabhaliswa ku-UIF eminyakeni edlule emsebenzini owukhohliwe kudala. Uhlelo aluhlali lwazi ukuthi alusebenzi yini. Ngokunjalo, ukubhaliswa kwe-NSFAS kwesikhathi esidlule kungaphazamisa isicelo sakho. Abawinile bayabheka; baqinisekisa isimo sabo kumawebhusayithi oMnyango WezabaSebenzi ne-NSFAS ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho ukubhaliswa okudala okungumoya okuvimba isibonelelo sabo.

Icebo #2: Qonda Kahle I-Means Test – Akuyona Imali Engenayo Kuphela

I-means test (ukuhlolwa kwemithombo yakho) iyindonga engabonakali abafaki zicelo abaningi abayishayayo. Kusukela ngoZibandlela 2025, umthetho ucacile: uma kungena ngaphezu kuka-R624 ku-akhawunti yakho yasebhange enyangeni ethile, uyenqatshelwa kuleyo nyanga. Kungukuhlolwa okuqinile, okwenziwa ngokuzenzakalela (automated). Akukho muntu ozolalela indaba yakho yokuthi u-R700 wawungowokuthengela ingane yakho umfaniswano wesikole. Indlela Yomwinile:

1. Yazi Umjikelezo Wakho: I-SASSA ihlola isimo sakho sezezimali ngenyanga edlule. Ukuze uvunyelwe ngoMasingana (January) 2026, i-akhawunti yakho yasebhange ngoZibandlela (December) 2025 kufanele ngabe ihlale ngaphansi komkhawulo ka-R624.
2. Phatha Imali Engenayo: Uma wenza imisebenzi emincane noma uthola usizo emndenini, zama ukuphatha lokho. Cela ukuthi bakunike imali engukheshi esikhundleni se-EFT uma lokho kubeka engcupheni yokuweqa umkhawulo. Akukhona ukufihla imali engenayo, kodwa ukuqonda nokulandela imithetho eqinile yohlelo.
3. Sebenzisa I-Akhawunti Ehlukile: Uma kungenzeka, sebenzisa i-akhawunti yasebhange kuphela yokusetshenziswa komuntu siqu ongayiqapha eduze. Ukuyihlanganisa namabhizinisi noma izinto ezivela kubangani kudala isithombe esingcolile sezezimali esingahunyushwa kalula uhlelo oluzenzakalelayo. I-akhawunti ecacile, enebhalansi ephansi, iyona ndlela elula yokuqonda ekuvunyweni.

Icebo #3: Ukuhlolwa Kwangaphambi Kokuvunywa – Lungisa Izinkinga Ngaphambi Kokuba I-SASSA Ize Ifike Kuzo

Kungani ulinde ukuthi i-SASSA ikwenqabe? Abafaki zicelo abaphumelelayo benza njengabaphenyi, bethola futhi belungisa izinkinga ezingaba khona ngaphambi kokuba bathumele isicelo sabo noma bafake isicelo kabusha. Nansi i-checklist yakho yokuhlola ngo-2025:

• Ukuhlolwa koMnyango Wezindaba Zasekhaya: Ingabe igama lakho libhalwe kahle? Ingabe isimo sakho somshado siyamangalelana (up to date)? Vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-DHA noma ihhovisi lendawo ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi imininingwane exhunywe ne-ID yakho i-100% ilungile.
• Ukuhlolwa koMnyango WezabaSebenzi: Hamba kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni yoMnyango WezabaSebenzi uhlole inombolo yakho ye-ID nganoma yikuphi ukufakwa kwemali kwe-UIF okusebenzayo. Uma uthola ukuthi umqashi omdala akakasiphathisi isimo sakho, kufanele uxhumane nabo ukuze bakulungise.
• Ukuqinisekiswa Kabili Kwemininingwane Yasebhange: Ngena ku-akhawunti yakho yasebhange. Ingabe igama eliku-akhawunti liyahambisana ngqo nombhalo wakho we-ID? Ingabe ungumnikazi we-akhawunti? Ukusebenzisa i-akhawunti yomunye umuntu ukwenqatshwa ngokushesha.

Icebo #4: Khetha Isikhali Sakho – Ukudlulisa Isinqumo (Appeal) Vs. Ukufaka Isicelo Kabusha Ngobuchule

Uma wenqatshwa, unezinketho ezimbili: ukudlulisa isinqumo (appeal) noma ukufaka isicelo kabusha ngenyanga elandelayo. Ukukhetha okulungile kubalulekile.

• Nini Ukudlulisa Isinqumo: Ukudlulisa isinqumo kwenzelwa uma ukholwa ukuthi uhlelo lwe-SASSA lwenza iphutha. Isibonelo, uma bakumaka ngokuthi ‘UIF Ubhalisiwe’ kodwa unobufakazi bokuthi awuzange ube nomsebenzi noma isimo sakho saqedwa kudala. Uthi, ‘Imininingwane yakho ayilungile, futhi nanku ubufakazi bami.’ Le nqubo ingathatha isikhathi eside.
• Nini Ukufaka Isicelo Kabusha Ngobuchule: Ukufaka isicelo kabusha kwenzelwa uma izimo zakho ziwukuhluleka, kodwa manje sezingashintshile. Isibonelo, uma wenqatshwa ’ngemali engenayo ehlukile’ ngoLwezi ngoba isihlobo sakuthumelela u-R800, akusizi ukudlulisa isinqumo. Wena wedlula umkhawulo. Isinyathelo sokuwina ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imali engenayo ngoZibandlela ingaphansi kuka-R624 bese nje ufaka isicelo kabusha ngomjikelezo olandelayo. Lokhu ngokuvamile kuyashesha futhi kusebenza ngaphezu kokudlulisa isinqumo okungenathemba.

Icebo #5: Umdlalo Wokuxhumana – Ukugcina Imininingwane Yakho Isebenza
