Services at this location
Applying for maintenance costs nothing. There is no filing fee and you do not need a lawyer to start the process. If the person you are claiming from fails to appear after being properly summoned, the court can issue a warrant for their arrest, and in some circumstances make an order in their absence.
Parent organisation
The Mankwe court at Mogwase on 014 555 5800, which sits inside a shopping complex, exercises the same functions for its part of the district. Rustenburg is the main seat, so a matter transferred from Mogwase is administered here.
