Search 853,000+ South African Government Gazette records instantly. Stop losing revenue to missed claims and slow manual processes.
Manual gazette checking is slow, expensive, and guarantees missed opportunities.
Average turnaround for manual gazette searches from traditional service providers. Months of delay while estates are wound up and dividends distributed — without you.
Cost per manual search through gazette service providers. Multiply that across hundreds of accounts and the costs are staggering — often exceeding the claim value itself.
Every week, 52 new gazettes per year publish estate notices, insolvency orders, and liquidations you never find. Each missed notice is a missed claim or recovery opportunity.
Three steps. Results in under a second.
Type a 13-digit SA ID number, person name, estate number, or company registration. Or upload a bulk list of up to 30,000 IDs at once.
Results appear in under a second across all gazette notice types — estates, insolvency, sales in execution, liquidations, name changes, and curator appointments.
Download results as CSV. Set up watchlist alerts to get notified by email when new gazette notices match your portfolio of IDs.
