Terrible Customer Service
POLOKWANE Terrible experience with Sheriff Office Polokwane. I am busy with a GBH ******** trial at Polokwane Court and needed assistance with documents as I live in Cape Town. The lady was extremely rude and blatantly said NO they cannot help me, I was still explaining what I need help with. She also hung up the phone in my ear 3 times saying they are very busy. She refused to even listen what I needed help with. Useless service.

Sheriff’s Office in Benoni (If I could give below 1 star, I would)
If there was an option to rate below 1 star, the Sheriff’s Office in Benoni would earn it from me...easily. I began my divorce process on 23 January 2026 at the Benoni Magistrates Court. I was told to take the forms to the Sheriff’s Office, which I did. When I filled in their forms, they asked that I bring my wife in, so on 26 January 2026, I did exactly that. A friendly staff member helped us and took us to another room where my wife filled in and signed everything. Then came the first excuse: I was told they did not have any Return of Service forms, so I couldn’t take anything back to court. They assured me they’d get the forms the next day (27 January) and submit everything to court for me. I trusted them. That was my mistake. I waited the entire week. Nothing. When I returned to court, I discovered no documents had been sent by the Sheriff. I was told to “be patient.” I then went to the Sheriff’s Office myself — only to find them closed for lunch. Fine. I gave them even more time. Another few days passed with still no communication whatsoever. On 5 February 2026, I went back to court again. Still no documents. The clerk eventually asked me to fetch the documents myself. Back I went to the Sheriff’s Office. This time, the excuse was that they “had no power last week.” Even if that were true, it didn’t explain why nothing was done this week, and it was already Thursday. Eventually they found my documents. I had to take them to court myself. At this point, I had practically done their entire job for them: • I brought the defendant to them, • I chased them for updates, • I fetched my own documents, and • I submitted them to court myself. There were no updates, no communication, broken promises, and overall service that was honestly unacceptable. If this is the level of reliability and professionalism one must deal with during something as important as a legal process, it’s truly disappointing. I’ve never experienced such poor service from an office that plays a key role in the justice system. Absolutely unacceptable service.

Sheriff Klerksdorp Pay Back
Good day My husband Mr SS Maepa had a case in 2021 with NBRCFL and it was concluded that he had to receive R72K payment from the Sheriff department in Klerksdorp. So on the 06th September this year marks 4 years and no payment, worse no communication has been received. It is high time that this matter be resolved. The office in question.... details as follows: Sheriff Klerksdorp P.O Box 1136 Stilfontein 2550 018 484 1387 / Sheriffklerksdorp@gmail.com We honestly need this matter resolved.

Unprofessional and *********** – Avoid the Sheriff of Polokwane
Appalling service from the Sheriff of Polokwane. The sheriff was outright rude and showed a complete lack of professionalism. It took months to sort out a simple matter with no urgency or accountability. This kind of incompetence and disrespect is unacceptable from an office entrusted with legal authority. Strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this office.

EXTREMELY RUDE
Got a phone call from number I do not know. I asked who was calling (I do not give information to anyone if I don't know who it is) the lady refused to say and was extremely rude. Then hung up. Googled the number and was sheriff office cape east. Phoned back and the lady was still rude. And didn't want to talk to me. Still don't know what it's about. Maybe in future if you call someone tell them who's calling and why. Don't be so freaking rude, learn phone etiquette. People do not just give you information because of all the spam and *****. Please!! No man!

Excellent service
Most magistrates offices in SA do not answer telephones. This sheriff's office answers their telephone and emails. The deputy sheriff is approachable and very helpful. I was able to speak to him and send him whattsapp messages. This office is a breath of fresh air.
