1.Corparate Services
The Corporate Services, headed by Mr Mlungisi Ntanzi, is an integral part of the support structures of the Municipality that is strategically positioned to enable the Dannhauser Municipality to achieve its mandate as the core of general Administration and Human Resources Management, Communications, Fleet Management, Registry and ICT.
It is a portal of entry and exit from the Municipality and supports the functions of all the other Departments of the Municipality, it provides support services and generally ensures that all administrative functions of the Municipality are properly coordinated.
Without a strong-functioning Corporate Services division to support the organisation to carry out its mandate and mission, the organisation would collapse.
