Tembisa Magistrate Court Contact Details

Tembisa is recorded by the Department of Justice as a detached court rather than a full magistrate court, which is why its post is addressed to Kempton Park rather than to Tembisa.

Official contact channels

• Court: 011 281 0388
• Alternative: 011 281 0382

Services and responsibilities

A detached court is a court office operating under a main seat rather than as a magisterial district in its own right. Tembisa sits under Ekurhuleni as a sub district. Despite the status it handles the full range of work, including 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 244 Gqagqa Section, Tembisa, 1632, but post goes to Private Bag X03, Kempton Park, 1620. Correspondence addressed to a Tembisa post box will not reach it.

Applications and escalation

No separate after hours domestic violence number is published for Tembisa. Because it is a detached court, some administrative matters may be handled at the main seat rather than locally, so confirm before travelling with documents.
