Helen Zille, this is my invitation to you, please accept

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’ve sent another invitation to DA boss, Helen Zille. Long-term readers may recall that Zille previously threatened to sue me. After I suggested that discussion was the better option and emailed her a list of corruption topics, she refused to meet. Despite that, and having met me twice before, it’s odd that she pretended not to know me. If I’m the conspiracy theorist she claims I am, then why would she not, point-by-point, clearly refute the evidence. If she wanted to discredit me, all she has to do is prove … Read the full article…

Sex, little girls, pretty women and Netflix

Mike Hampton Posted on by

As a newcomer to Netflix, I was addicted yesterday. I watched until my eyes bled tears into the morning. I found it to be fantastic entertainment but unfortunately also a metaphor for our society’s explicit and implicit sexualisation of underage girls. Life, for many, is going to work and returning to watch Netflix (which is ironically both the escape from work and avoidance of the dissatisfied lives worked for). It’s understandable that people are hypnotised. My takeaway spaghetti thought concerns sexuality, nature versus exploitation. Thoughts on movie thumbnails and a French … Read the full article…

By-election results show the decline of Helen Zille’s empire

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Helen Zille is trying to spin the Democratic Alliance’s dismal Super Wednesday by-election results. No “consolidating” by the DA will work. Nationally, the DA lost 9 seats and gained 2, so down 7. Against expectations, the ANC lost 2 and gained 6, so up 4. Zille’s situation worsens. In the Western Cape, the only province she rules, we’re witnessing the decline of her empire. For example, she’ll likely take back control of Knysna but plummeted 25% in its richest ward.  Helen Zille blamed biased Media with, “We have to face … Read the full article…

Intimidation: The Advocate and the Conman

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is how Advocate Julie Seton and conman Jaco Dercksen sought to discredit me and have me arrested in 2019, using a judgement granted to ex-politician Esme Edge. They sent lies to businesses. They threatened my elderly father and posted propaganda online. It was another chapter in the Democratic Alliance going to nasty lengths to stop me exposing their corruption (which includes their alliance with property developers seeking to control the town of Knysna). A Sheriff report shows that Sohn & Associates, owned by Richard Sohn, was representing Edge. On … Read the full article…

SLAPP: COGTA refers DA and Western Cape corruption to SIU

Mike Hampton Posted on by

COGTA Portfolio Chair Faith Muthambi has referred Western Cape corruption to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). The complaint, with detailed evidence, was submitted by me, Mike Hampton. I am an anti-corruption activist forced out of Knysna 3 years ago. I am currently living in Kwazulu-Natal (KZN). Most of the lawbreaking is rooted in Knysna but implicates Provincial and National DA leadership. Oudtshoorn crime was submitted too. It is uncertain if the referral to South Africa’s elite investigators will matter. Other National Government agencies have deliberately failed before them. It is … Read the full article…

Another major gas discovery off Garden Route coast

Mike Hampton Posted on by

More bad news for nature and tourism lovers on the Garden Route. There’s been another gas discovery offshore. Total announced on Wednesday a second significant gas condensate discovery offshore South Africa, Kallanish Energy reports. The discovery on the Luiperd prospect, on Block 11B/12B in the Outeniqua Basin, follows the adjacent play opening Brulpadda discovery last year. The well was drilled to a depth of 3,400 meters and encountered 73 meters of net gas condensate pay. The block is operated by Total with a 45% stake. Other partners include Qatar Petroleum … Read the full article…
