Local channels
- Rustenburg Magistrate Court: 014 597 9400
- Alternative: 078 244 9609
Address
The court is at 13 Nelson Mandela Drive, Rustenburg, 0300, with post to Private Bag X82065 at the same code. The second number the department publishes is a mobile, listed against the court rather than an official.
Services at this location
Applying for maintenance costs nothing. There is no filing fee and you do not need a lawyer to start the process. If the person you are claiming from fails to appear after being properly summoned, the court can issue a warrant for their arrest, and in some circumstances make an order in their absence.
Parent organisation
The Mankwe court at Mogwase on 014 555 5800, which sits inside a shopping complex, exercises the same functions for its part of the district. Rustenburg is the main seat, so a matter transferred from Mogwase is administered here.
