The municipality made front page news after two officials were arrested for fraud for illegally trying to sell plots.
The Dundee Hospital came under fire for ‘shoddy service’. Patients complained that the nurses were very rude towards when they were sent to the hospital for treatment.

Dannhauser also had its fair share of drama as opposition parties complained that the appointment of a new Municipal Manager was deemed illegal. According to them, the only qualification the new manager had, was that he was a male nurse.
