Port Shepstone Magistrate Court publishes two numbers, and the department marks the second one as temporary, which means it may not remain in service.
Official contact channels
- Court: 039 682 0136
- Temporary alternative: 066 291 3471
Services and responsibilities
The court serves the Ugu district on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast and handles criminal and civil cases, maintenance, domestic violence, childrens court and child justice matters, sexual offences and small claims.
Office and address information
The court is at 5 Berea Road, on the corner of Court House Road, Port Shepstone, 4240, with post to Private Bag X845 at the same code.
Applications and escalation
The temporary label matters. A temporary number is usually put in place while a landline is out of service, so if the main number does not answer, try the temporary one, and if the temporary one has lapsed, the main number should have been restored. The department also publishes operational notices listing courts with telephone or power faults, which is worth checking before travelling.
