Oudtshoorn corruption submission to Auditor General

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I reported this Oudtshoorn corruption to the Auditor General on 5 August 2020. It involves Mayor Chris McPherson & MEC Local Government Anton Bredell. Both are members of the Democratic Alliance. It was acknowledged by Advocate Ryno De Water (Senior Manager: Investigations Business Unit), ccied to Michael Harmse (Manager: Investigations Business Unit). I was informed that there is an open case on Oudtshoorn. In my previous post concerning Knysna corruption, I stated that dead birds don’t fly. However, in Oudtshoorn there are also living birds that don’t fly. This year’s … Read the full article…

Corruption, COGTA and the latest lawyers against me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

There are many rotten reasons why Knysna, like South Africa, can no longer fly. This is my additional submission against corruption and maladministration to COGTA Chair Faith Muthambi, sent last month. It is part of my previously promised 100 days of activism which I expect will end with me in prison, maybe as early as next month. My last expose was 21 July 2020. On 23 August, I stated that I had no interest in new issues. Despite more political drama and cronyism, I kept silent. However, this post addresses … Read the full article…

So long, South Africa, and thanks for all the fish…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I gave 10 years to fighting corruption. Unfortunately, no one stood with me in a meaningful way. South Africa is broken. Maybe, in a different way, I am too.  But I don’t regret having represented what I believe in. The best lesson I learned was minimalism. Most material things don’t matter. I would like to own a small fridge but there’s no need for a car or a big TV. I’ve handled 6-months of lockdown well. I’ve spent so much time alone, much longer than that, that I don’t need … Read the full article…

The Thesen Islands property development scandal begins…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“This is a coastal town they forgot to close down. Come Armageddon, come.” – Morrissey  The Democratic Alliance’s favourite property developer, Chris Mulder, enters a new scandal. Some of his family and MEC Local Government Anton Bredell join the rollercoaster on Thesen Islands in Knysna. This likely involves millions of profit made from alleged illegal additions to The Boatshed (which includes the île de païn restaurant, The Lofts Boutique Hotel, and The Terraces accommodation). It’s expected that this is the beginning of a bigger controversy involving corrupt municipal staff and … Read the full article…

The not-so-secret Webber Wentzel investigation into Oudtshoorn

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Today’s Council meeting in Oudtshoorn is likely to be scandalous. But controversy is all the town knows, so maybe it’s business as usual, as it has been the past decade. It’s a neverending political ‘sex’ scandal. The ANC screwed the town. Then the ANC and DA, together, screwed the town. Then the Western Cape Government screwed the town. Now the DA and the Western Cape Government, together, are doing the screwing. When the Public hasn’t given permission to be bent over, there’s no pleasure, only rape. MACPHERSON & LE ROUX … Read the full article…

The suffering ‘Ostriches’ of Oudtshoorn (and ‘Mayor’ Chris MacPherson)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This complaint addresses fraud in the town of Oudtshoorn and allegedly involves DA Mayoral candidate Chris MacPherson. I submit to the political and the administrative, addressing DA Federal Executive Chair Helen Zille and Western Cape Premier Alan Winde. THE SECRET AIRPORT ACCOUNT This audio recording, circa 2012/2013, allegedly features (then DA Speaker) Christopher Macpherson and Charles Meyer (ex- Chair of the external Audit Committee).
