Cape Town Magistrate Court Contact Details

Cape Town Magistrate Court is the main seat of the Cape Town district and sits at two further venues in the city centre besides its own building.

Official contact channels

• Court: 021 401 1547
• Alternative: 021 401 1511

Services and responsibilities

The court records the Concourse building on the corner of Adderley and Strand Street, and Norlen House, as places of sitting. Both are in the central city, so the court name alone does not identify the venue. It administers sub district offices including Goodwood, Wynberg and Athlone.

Office and address information

The court is at 7-11 Parade Street, Cape Town, 8001, while post goes to Private Bag X9017, Cape Town, 8000. The street and postal codes differ by one digit.

Applications and escalation

Three city centre venues within walking distance of each other makes checking the summons essential. The Concourse building sits above the Cape Town station concourse, which is a different place from Parade Street.
