How SASSA QMS Works

SASSA’s QMS is a very simple system, in simple words, it’s a ticketing or token system in which a beneficiary or an applicant generates a token or ticket from the help desk or an automated token machine.

In some SASSA offices, this ticketing system has also been automated using automatic machines that generate a ticket chit on arrival of the beneficiary at the office. But in some offices in South Africa, to use this ticketing system, you may have to first deal with a help desk officer at SASSA who will generate your token number and hand it over to you.

Now you just have to wait for your turn to get your problems solved by SASSA, until sit back and wait.

How You Can Use SASSA QMS

• Reach the SASSA office and operate the token machine, this machine is very simple to use. Just tap on the screen where ‘Generate Token’ is written.
• You’ll see some options pop up on the screen asking you for the reasons for your visit to the SASSA office.
