Pharmacies and shops that deliver
Dis-Chem national WhatsApp line
Message "Hi" for delivery within 24 hours or collection in store in 2 hours. No Schedule 6 medicines through this service.
Checkers Sixty60
Delivers seven days a week, evening slots usually run to around 7pm to 8pm depending on your store.
Pick n Pay asap!
Delivers while your nearest store is trading, so the last order in most Joburg suburbs falls between 7pm and 9pm.
Order in the app
Independent pharmacies that deliver are listed on each card above, look for the "Delivers" note. Most can send a card machine out with the driver, but ask when you place the order, not when the driver arrives.
Before you go
- Call ahead before driving anywhere late at night. Posted hours change without notice.
- For a hospital-linked pharmacy, try the emergency entrance if it is genuinely urgent, even outside the counter's posted hours.
- Save the Poisons Information Helpline and Netcare 911 or ER24 in your phone now, not when you need them.
- Keep a photo of your child's script on your phone. It saves a trip home when the pharmacy needs to see it.
A mom tip from The Block
If the pharmacy counter is closed and you are truly worried, go to the hospital emergency entrance rather than driving from one shut pharmacy to the next. Emergency units are staffed around the clock and can dispense what your child needs on the spot.
No verified 24-hour pharmacy could be confirmed in Krugersdorp, Roodepoort or the Vaal Triangle when this list was compiled. Call your nearest Dis-Chem or Clicks and ask which branch is open tonight.
Hours change often, so this is a starting point, not a guarantee. Get the printable guide to keep on your phone.
