Maintenance at Ga-Rankuwa is a function of the magistrate court rather than a separate court, and that court is unusual in sharing premises with Home Affairs.
Local channels
- Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate Court: 012 700 8200
Address
The court is at 8835 Setlalentoa Street, Unit 5, Ga-Rankuwa, 0208, inside the Home Affairs building, so the signage on arrival shows that department rather than a court. Post goes to Private Bag X1002 at the same code.
Services at this location
A maintenance enquiry is investigated before it is heard. A maintenance officer, who is a court official rather than a magistrate, gathers financial information from both sides and may summon documents from an employer or a bank. Many matters are settled at that stage by consent order without a magistrate hearing them.
Parent organisation
The court is recorded with Odi as its other name and the sub district is spelled GaRakuwa in the departmental data. Pretoria on 012 319 4000 is the main seat for Tshwane, and Pretoria North on 012 521 1000 exercises the same functions for its own area.
