The high court in Bloemfontein is the Free State Division of the High Court, and it is the only seat of that division.
Official contact channels
- Court manager office: 051 492 4588
Services and responsibilities
Unlike the Eastern Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal divisions, the Free State Division has a single seat, so all high court work for the province is heard here. That covers serious crime, high value civil claims, divorces and appeals from magistrate courts.
Office and address information
The court is on the corner of Fountain and President Brand Street, Bloemfontein, 9300, with post to Private Bag X20612 at the same code.
Applications and escalation
Bloemfontein also hosts the Supreme Court of Appeal, which is a separate and higher court with its own administration, so a Bloemfontein court reference may mean either. The court manager is listed as a named official with a personal mailbox, which is not reproduced here.
