Humansdorp Court Contact Details

The Humansdorp court sits at three further places spread along the Tsitsikamma coast and inland, so the distance between venues is unusually large.

Official contact channels

• Humansdorp Magistrate Court: 042 291 0259
• Domestic violence after hours applications: 083 332 9161

Services and responsibilities

The three places of sitting are Kareedouw inland, Patensie in the Gamtoos valley, and Storms River in the far east of the district near the Western Cape boundary. Storms River is roughly 90 kilometres from Humansdorp, so attending the wrong venue is a wasted day rather than a short detour.

Office and address information

The court is on Du Plessis Street, Humansdorp, 6300, with post to Private Bag X560 at the same code.

Applications and escalation

The court serves the Kouga sub district within Sarah Baartman. Gqeberha, where the Eastern Cape high court also has a seat on 041 502 6600, is the nearest large centre. The after hours number is for protection order applications only.
