Witbank is officially eMalahleni, and municipal services are listed under that name. The eMalahleni Local Municipality switchboard is 013 690 6222, with a fraud hotline on 0800 204 228.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory and is not the municipality.
Search eMalahleni, not Witbank
Both names remain in daily use. eMalahleni is the official municipal name; Witbank persists on signage, in business names and across older listings. A search under one may miss records filed under the other.
The town is on the 013 Mpumalanga code, shared with Middelburg and Nelspruit.
Licensing: two different kinds of office
The commonest wasted trip. A registering authority handles vehicles, meaning licence discs, change of ownership and registration. A driving licence testing centre handles drivers, meaning learner’s and driving tests and licence renewals.
Some sites do both and many do not. Phone the municipality first and confirm which office offers the service you need, whether a booking is required, and what documents to bring.

Anyone at a licensing office offering to secure a booking or arrange a pass for cash is soliciting a bribe, and the fraud hotline exists for exactly that. A licence obtained that way is invalid.
Renew a driving licence well before it expires; slots book out months ahead and driving on an expired card is an offence. Numbers were read from emalahleni.gov.za on 25 August 2026.
