The Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) says the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria will temporarily cease operations on Tuesday due to a power outage in the Tshwane CBD.

“Members of the public, court users and legal practitioners are advised that the Gauteng Division of the High Court, Pretoria, will temporarily cease operations today, Tuesday, 18 February 2025, due to a power outage in the Tshwane CBD affecting the court.
