Bluedowns Municipal Court temporarily closed until further notice

28 July 2025

The City of Cape Town wants to inform residents that the Municipal Court in Bluedowns is closed to the public until further notice due to protest action outside the Bluedowns Magistrate’s Court.

The municipal court is located inside the Bluedowns Magistrate’s Court complex in Butskop Road, Blackheath.

The National Department of Justice and Constitutional Development closed the magistrate’s court this morning due to protest action, and as a result, the municipal court is also unavailable to the public until further notice. It is anticipated that the court will be open again tomorrow, 29 July 2025, but the public is advised to phone to confirm.

• The Bluedowns Municipal Court hours are from 08:00 to 15:00

The payment of pre-due date traffic fines may be made at selected Spar shops or online at www.paythat.co.za, or at any other municipal court in the city.

The City apologises for any inconvenience.

For court enquiries, kindly contact Leslie Ann Anthony on 076 0888 849.
