Peer snub reveals questionable agenda

THE past two weeks of controversy concerning the overlooking of deputy mayor Fawzia Peer to stand in as mayor is still the subject of talk in political circles and homes.

I have some difficulty in reconciling the decision to bypass Peer as acting mayor.

This type of behaviour is uncalled for and the mayor’s decision is both flawed and questionable.

I ponder why this stance is taken against Peer.

Clearly there is a hidden agenda.

Peer must be commended for being truly professional and not kicking up a storm, but going about her duties as deputy mayor and in line with her commitment to the people of eThekwini to make a better life for all.

While there may be sinister plots and clandestine activities, I believe that if the deputy mayor continues to champion the cause of the people, she will always be victorious as the “truth must prevail”. DHAYALAN MOODLEY
