Disclaimers
Welcome to Sastatus. This site has been created in order to simplify the funding process in South Africa for you. However, it is recommended for you to know the specifics of the website, services we provide and the limitations of the information provided on this website.
We Are Not the Government
Sastatus is a portal which belongs to the private company and does not belong to the government. We do not give any grants or other types of funding; we do not belong to SASSA, NSFAS, the NYDA, the dtic and other governmental departments and we do not process any grant applications.
For Educational and Informational Purposes Only
There is a lot of legal information on the websites of the government and in gazettes that includes numerous terms. We try to make this information easier for you in order to inform you about your chances to get the funding.
When we translate legal information for you, you should remember that any information on this website should not be considered as the financial, professional and legal advice. You are the one who is responsible for the information you have received from us. If you need to take a loan from IDC which amounts to millions of Rands, you definitely should consult with a financial advisor or accountant.
Accuracy and Timeliness of Information
We try to stay up-to-date with all of the news. However, it is necessary for you to understand that the regulations, payment dates, application criteria and deadlines of different government departments are changing all the time (sometimes unexpectedly).
We try to provide you with the most accurate information. However, we cannot guarantee you that any number, income threshold or deadline on this website is accurate right now. You have to check critical dates and criteria by yourself.
Always verify important dates, eligibility criteria, and application deadlines through the relevant official government department before making any decisions.
The Status Check Tool
Saststus provides you with the tool to check the status of your application in several minutes. It is necessary for you to understand that we have no access to the database which is used in order to get this information. Our tool is just a mediator between you and the official state API.
In case the official server of SASSA or the government fails (it happens rather often), our tool will not work until it is back.
We cannot control the reason why your application was declined or has a pending status.
We cannot make your application process faster, we cannot change your banking details and we cannot influence any appeal procedure. All of the questions regarding your application status should be addressed to the relevant state department.
External Links and Third-Parties
Our guides provide you with the links to the website of the relevant department (sassa.gov.za, nsfas.org.za and so on). We provide you with these links in order to inform you about which websites you should visit in order to get the funding. Moreover, we use the third party advertisements on our website in order to support it for free for you.
We have no control over the content, security and privacy policy of these websites.
When you click on the link to the website of the third party, you enter it on your own risk.
In case you face any problem on the website of the third party when you are uploading your ID document there, we will not be responsible for the loss of your data and the delay in your application process.
Final Limitation of Liability
By using the Saststus.co.za website, you agree that we will not be responsible for any damage, financial losses or deadlines you might miss due to the information that you have received from us.
You are the one who uses our website voluntarily and responsible for all of your grant applications and business funding.
