The provincial government’s official contacts page lists these five channels under the heading “Gauteng Provincial Government Hotline Number”. They are not the complete set: the Office of the Premier’s own 2025/26 Annual Report publishes more, listed below.
Two of the numbers are toll-free, and there is an SMS shortcode, 17747, which is the cheapest route of all if you only need to lodge something short.
Office of the Premier address: 55 Marshall Street, Marshalltown

Why there is no direct address
A Premier is a public office holder, and the office rather than the person is the contact point. That is not evasion; it is how correspondence gets recorded, allocated and answered.
A personal mailbox has no tracking, no reference number and no one covering it when the holder is away. An office has all three. A letter addressed to “The Premier of Gauteng” through the channels above enters a system; one sent to a personal address does not.
It also outlives the individual. Office holders change; the Office of the Premier does not.
If you find an address circulating that claims to be the Premier’s personal email, treat it with suspicion. The provincial government publishes two email addresses, hotline@gauteng.gov.za and support@gauteng.gov.za, and neither is a personal mailbox.
The “more contacts” page is unfinished
Worth knowing so you do not waste time looking, because the site appears to promise more than it delivers.
The Gauteng government’s homepage carries a “More Contacts” link. The page it opens contains no contact details at all. It repeats unfinished placeholder text reading “more contacts details goe here” several dozen times, misspelling included.
That is live on the provincial government’s official website. So there is no fuller directory hiding behind that link. The fullest official list is the one in the Office of the Premier’s annual report, shown above.
What the Office of the Premier does
Knowing its mandate tells you whether your matter belongs there at all.
The province describes the Office of the Premier as providing leadership to government, overseeing the functioning of the provincial administration, coordinating long-term planning, and monitoring and evaluating government performance. It also advances gender equality, youth empowerment and the rights of people with disabilities, older persons and military veterans, and promotes communication between government and the public.
So it is an oversight and coordination office. It does not deliver frontline services.
Most matters belong with a department
Writing to the Premier about something a department handles adds a step rather than removing one. Gauteng’s provincial departments are:
- Education, Health, Social Development
- Community Safety, Roads and Transport, Human Settlements, Infrastructure Development
- Economic Development, Agriculture and Rural Development, Environment
- Co-operative Governance, e-Government, Treasury, Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation
A school placement is Education. A clinic is Health. A pothole or a licence is Roads and Transport. A housing list is Human Settlements. Each publishes its own contacts on the provincial site, and going straight there is faster.
The hotline is the right route when you have already tried the department and got nowhere, or when you genuinely do not know which one is responsible.
Following what the Premier actually says
If you are looking for the Premier because of something he announced, the province publishes it directly rather than only through the media.
Gauteng publishes media statements, media advisories, speeches, announcements and news on its own website, including statements issued in the Premier’s name and advisories about where he will be. Those are the primary source, and they are free.
The Premier signs official documents as Mr Andrek (Panyaza) Lesufi, Premier of Gauteng. The Gauteng government does not publish his age, date of birth, birthplace, biography or family details on gauteng.gov.za, so we do not list them; for official information about him, use the Office of the Premier’s news and speeches.
That is also the check to make if someone tells you the Premier has announced a grant, a job scheme or a payout. If it is real, it will be on gauteng.gov.za. Nobody can charge you for access to a government programme, and a message asking for a fee or your banking details is not from the province.
