DA will be keeping an eye on the acting eThekwini Mayor Fawzia Peer
13 June 2019
The Democratic Alliance in eThekwini congratulates Councillor Fawzia Peer on her appointment as the city’s Acting Mayor. We have today written to Peer to express our best wishes and outline what we believe are pressing matters that need to be addressed in the next month.
We will work with Councillor Peer insofar as her plans and leadership serve the best interests of the people of Durban. We urge her to put the debilitating current politics of the ANC aside and focus on delivering services.
We believe that there are two priority issues that need to be addressed within the next 30 days:
The first is the backlog of City Integrity and Investigation Unit (CIIU) reports that have piled up in various departments across the municipality. If the city is to get a hold on the rampant corruption and wrongdoing that has become a part of everyday life, it must immediately start to institute steps to hold people accountable.
