Office and address information
The court is at V 1318 Mangosuthu Highway, Umlazi, 4066. Post goes to Private Bag X025, Mobeni, 4060, a different suburb with a different postal code, so correspondence addressed to Umlazi 4066 will not reach it.
Applications and escalation
Two things hide this court from a search: the office name is Emlazi rather than Umlazi, and the postal town is Mobeni. Quote the private bag number on correspondence to be certain it arrives.
