Overview
The corporate and shared services directorate is the nuts and bolts of the City’s administration. As such it needs to be solid, dependable and reliable. The directorate was set up to streamline the City’s administration, making sure it is run on efficient and professional lines. It has a vast range of responsibilities, from managing employees’ leave, to organising the catering for mayoral functions, to maintaining public conveniences, among many other tasks.
It operates in accordance to the City’s crucial Growth and Development Strategy, ensuring an orderly use of common resources.
The corporate and shared services directorate’s mission is to provide an effective and efficient strategic support service that meets the standards of a world-class African city to all of the City’s business units.
