Further courts in the district are Bothaville on 056 515 2031, Wesselsbron on 057 899 1815, Bultfontein on 051 853 1126, Brandfort on 051 821 2211 and Boshof on 053 410 0534. Odendaalsrus is listed with a full address but an empty telephone field, so Welkom as the main seat is the practical route for an Odendaalsrus enquiry.
Office and address information
Welkom is on the corner of Heeren and Buiten Street, Welkom 9460, with post to Private Bag X5 at the same code. Theunissen also sits at Winnie Mandela, and Boshof also sits at Hertzogville.
Applications and escalation
Welkom is an equality court and a small claims court and covers child justice, children’s court, civil, criminal, domestic violence, maintenance and sexual offences work. Note the codes cross provinces here: Bultfontein, Brandfort and Boshof carry 051 and 053 numbers rather than the 057 that most of the district uses.
