In South Africa nobody may be evicted from their home without a court order. The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998 (PIE) sets out the procedure, and the court must consider whether eviction is just and equitable. Eviction lawyers act for landlords and owners, and for tenants and occupiers facing eviction.
Claims of up to R200,000 are heard in the district magistrate's court and up to R400,000 in the Regional Court. The Small Claims Court handles claims of up to R30,000 (from 1 August 2026) without lawyers. No one may be evicted from their home without a court order under the PIE Act. The Vanderbijlpark Magistrate's Court at Cnr Frikkie Meyer Boulevard and General Hertzog Boulevard, Vanderbijlpark serves Vanderbijlpark. The nearest Legal Aid SA office is in Vereeniging, about 10 km away: Legal Aid SA Vereeniging Local Office, 22 Kruger Avenue, Vereeniging. Legal Aid helps people who pass its means test, mainly in criminal, family and eviction matters.
No. Taking the law into your own hands is unlawful. A landlord needs a court order to evict, and a tenant who is locked out can apply urgently to be let back in.
It depends on whether it is opposed. The PIE Act requires notice to the occupier and the municipality before the hearing, so even unopposed evictions take some weeks.
Compare the firms above that handle evictions in Vanderbijlpark and ask whether they act for landlords, tenants or both.
