New magisterial districts
The Minister of Justice and Correctional Services issued a notice regarding the conversion of certain places as branch courts and periodical courts, with effect from 1 April 2022. This is pending the implementation of the broader rationalisation and re-alignment process of magisterial districts. The lists of new magisterial districts and sub-districts for KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, the Western Cape and the Free State were also published, effective from 1 April 2022.
