Services and responsibilities
Gauteng has two high court seats: Pretoria as the main division, and Johannesburg as the local division on 010 494 8486. High court work covers serious criminal matters, high value civil claims, divorces and appeals from magistrate courts.
Office and address information
The court is at Office 6.29, Sixth Floor, on the corner of Paul Kruger and Madiba Street, Pretoria. Post for both Gauteng seats goes to Private Bag X10, Marshalltown, 2107, which is a Johannesburg address.
Applications and escalation
Because both seats share one private bag at a Johannesburg address, correspondence must name the division and the seat, or it may be routed to the wrong court. The Pretoria magistrate court is a separate court on 012 319 4000 and sits at two traffic courts.
