City testing water bottle allegedly used to try ‘poison’ Durban acting mayor

Paraffin was allegedly added to the water bottle of eThekwini’s acting mayor, Fawzia Peer, at a full council meeting on Thursday.

“The acting mayor had a bottle of mineral water, and she drank from it and [must have] realised it tasted like paraffin. She handed it over to the speaker. The speaker confirmed it and acknowledged that it was paraffin. He then requested all councillors not to drink the water,” said Iyer. “[Peer] then got up, covering her mouth, and the chief whip escorted her out. We carried on after that, and everyone was very relaxed. I put up my hand I said: ‘Sorry, speaker, are you saying someone put paraffin in Fawzia Peer’s water?’ He replied that there was paraffin in one of the bottles. They didn’t want to be specific as to what was actually going on,” said Graham.
