It is the seat of the Eastern Cape High Court, Port Elizabeth, as well as a Magistrate's Court. As a result of the presence of a High Court, several other related organs of state such as a Masters Office and a Director of Public Prosecutions are present in the city. All Government (mostly provincial) departments maintain branches or other offices in Port Elizabeth.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The Government is able to afford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“... the happiness of a people is the only rational object of government, and the only object for which a people, free to choose, can have a government at all.”
