How do I find a court in a proclaimed Magisterial District?

Communities get the following services from courts near to them:

  • hearings of criminal cases and civil disputes
  • maintenance
  • small claims courts
  • domestic violence
  • childrens’ court
  • deceased estates. 

Contact details for all lower courts (magistrate's courts, branch courts and periodical courts) are available on the website of Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

To help you find the courts in your area there are also links to maps for Magistrate's Courts in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, North West and Limpopo.
