Scottburgh Magistrates Court serves the Umdoni sub district on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast and administers a periodical court at Sawoti.
Official contact channels
- Court: 039 978 9400
Services and responsibilities
Sawoti is recorded as a periodical court, meaning it sits on scheduled days at a venue rather than operating continuously, and it shares this courts private bag. Port Shepstone on 039 682 0136 is the main seat for the Ugu district.
Office and address information
The court is on the corner of Airth and Scott Street, Scottburgh, 4180, with post to Private Bag X5510 at the same code. The Sawoti periodical court, on the R612 Ixopo Road at Raemar, uses the same private bag.
Applications and escalation
Because Sawoti has no postal address of its own, correspondence for either court goes to the Scottburgh private bag. The Halfway Toyota dealership named Scottburgh is actually in Park Rynie, so a Scottburgh address is not a reliable guide to which business you have reached.
