eMalahleni is the office name the Department of Justice uses for the court most people still call Witbank. Both names refer to one court, and the department records Witbank as the other name.
Official contact channels
- Court: 013 656 2221
- Alternatives: 013 656 2222, 013 656 2223, 013 656 2240 and 013 656 2249
Services and responsibilities
Which name to use depends on what you are searching. The departmental directory files the office under eMalahleni, so a search for Witbank as an office name returns nothing. Both the street and postal addresses also use eMalahleni. Local businesses are split: the NMI Toyota dealership in the same town is listed by Toyota with eMalahleni as its city while carrying Witbank in its own name.
Office and address information
The court is at 14 Delville Street, eMalahleni, 1035, with post to Private Bag X7210 at the same code.
Applications and escalation
The court sits at several venues outside the main building, including a correctional centre, so confirm the venue before travelling. Middelburg in Mpumalanga on 013 283 7500 is the main seat for the Nkangala district, and is not the Eastern Cape Middelburg.
