Acting eThekwini mayor, Fawzia Peer says she's determined for business to continue as normal - saying nothing will keep her from doing her job.
This after being rushed to hospital on Thursday following a poison scare.
It's suspected the water bottle she drank from during a council meeting had been laced with some sort of substance.
Peer was back at work the following day and then spent Saturday in Umlazi for a clean-up campaign.
