Services and responsibilities
The court records Rietfontein and Witdraai as places of sitting. Both are in the Kalahari near the Namibian and Botswana borders, several hundred kilometres from Upington, which makes this one of the widest catchments of any court in the country.
Office and address information
The court is at 1 Weideman Street, Upington, 8800, with post to Private Bag X5983 at the same code.
Applications and escalation
The court on 054 337 5300 and Upington Toyota on 054 337 7100 share the 054 337 exchange, so check the last four digits. Confirm the sitting venue before travelling, since Rietfontein and Witdraai are a full day away.
