The magistrate court at King Williams Town is recorded with Qonce as its other name, the town having been renamed, and its address is given entirely under Qonce. Unusually, the department lists the same street address as the postal address, with no private bag.
Official contact channels
- Court: 043 642 3548
- Domestic violence after hours applications: 078 495 7003
Services and responsibilities
The court falls in the Zwelitsha sub district of Buffalo City. The Zwelitsha court on 040 658 0204 also sits at the corner of Oak and Reserve Road in this town, so two different courts have a presence here.
Office and address information
The court is at 117 Alexandra Road, Qonce, 5600. The department gives that same address for post as well, rather than a private bag, so correspondence goes to the street address.
Applications and escalation
The after hours number is for domestic violence protection order applications outside office hours. East London on 043 702 8000 is the main seat for Buffalo City.
