Searching official court lists for Umlazi returns nothing, because the Department of Justice files this court under the spelling Emlazi and records Umlazi only as an alternative name.

- Court: 031 907 3955
- Alternative: 031 907 1670
Services and responsibilities
The court is an equality court and a small claims court, and it runs a sexual offences court. It also handles child justice, children’s court, civil, criminal, domestic violence and maintenance matters. It sits in the eThekwini South sub district alongside Umbumbulu on 031 915 0100, eMmanzimtoti on 031 903 0602 and Chatsworth on 031 403 3227.
Office and address information
The building is at V 1318 Mangosuthu Highway, Umlazi 4066. The postal address is a different suburb entirely: Private Bag X025, Mobeni 4060. Posting documents to a Umlazi box number will not reach the court.
Applications and escalation
The two spellings matter beyond the directory. If a document, a notice or a search result shows Emlazi, it is the same court at the same Mangosuthu Highway address, not a second court elsewhere in the township.
