Some of the hundreds of comments on the 702 post on Facebook smacked of Islamophobia while others questioned his qualifications and ability to run such a big metro.This was rebutted by another social media user Ayesha Moola.

Poor Joburg people.

Hopeless. As much use as a button on the heel of a sock. ANC thuggees are going to chew him up and spit him out. Poor little lamb heading for the slaughter.
