Newcastle Magistrate Court is the main seat of the Amajuba district in northern KwaZulu-Natal and publishes three consecutive numbers.
Official contact channels
- Court: 034 312 1166
- Alternatives: 034 312 1167 and 034 312 1168
Services and responsibilities
As a main seat the court administers others in the Amajuba district and handles criminal and civil cases, maintenance, domestic violence, childrens court and child justice matters, sexual offences and small claims.
Office and address information
The court is at 37 Murchison Street, Newcastle, 2940, with post to Private Bag X6654 at the same code. Murchison Street is also the main street of Ladysmith, where a different magistrate court sits at number 344, so the town matters as much as the street.
Applications and escalation
The three court numbers share the 034 312 exchange with the local Toyota dealership on 034 312 6241, so confirm the last four digits. The department abbreviates the court numbers as 034 312 1166 slash 7 slash 8.
