DOWNLOAD: Evidence in the Public interest

Mike Hampton Posted on by

How will my hunger strike will end? Will President Cyril Ramaphosa and NPA Director Shamila Batohi do the right thing? So far, that’s a big NO according to Robert Ngobeni-Hlongwane (Presidency) and Bulelwa Makeke (NPA Head of Communications). Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Presidential Hotline Director Melisizwe Bleki, IPID Head Investigations Mathews Sesoko, General Godfrey Lebeya and Minister Bheki Cele and many others have also failed to act. The DA is protected. It’s Ramaphosa‘s government so he, most of all, must be blamed for the corruption. He may as well wear … Read the full article…

Hunger Strike Day 64: Wrists like sticks

Hunger Strike Against Corruption Day 64 Wrists like sticksI’ve no motivation to write articles as my hunger strike continues. There’s already so much evidence for you to download. I’m spending my last days of ‘freedom’ emailing people, planning my arrest, listening to rock music and watching foreign movies. A dietician may be able to explain why I still have a belly but the rest of me has shrunk. I previously showed you the changes in my face (and will post an update on day 70). But for me, the most noticeable affect has been to my wrists which have become thin, bony and heroin looking. For perspective, I demonstrate to salt lovers with this photo 🙂

Anti-War Album: Pink Floyd’s ‘The Final Cut’

Mike Hampton Posted on by

When last did you listen to Pink Floyd’s ‘The Final Cut’, the greatest anti-war album? Or are you like the majority of the Public that doesn’t know it exists, deafened by your repeat singing of the song, ‘Another Brick in the Wall’? ‘The Wall’ sold 30 million copies., more than your favourite Eminem or Whitney Houston album. “I’ll tell you what’s behind the wall…” sings Roger Waters on ‘The Final Cut’ which only sold one-tenth of that. It was the final release by the band with Waters who embarked on … Read the full article…

Day 60: Hunger Strike Against Corruption

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Day 60 of my hunger strike against corruption. I shaved off my sexy accessory. Done some breaking, tearing and inner searching. Only found stubborn resignation. The soundtrack to this ‘movie sequel’ has been rock ‘n roll; from Jeff Buckley and John Moreland to Hatebreed and Judas Priest. Eventually the drums and guitars will become mimes so that all that will be left is me, as uncute as can be. My fruit juice and soya milk will soon run out, water and black tea carrying me to my next destination. My … Read the full article…

Fire disaster, victims, anger, sadness & understanding

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Last week, I sank into depression. One moment I was there and then I was gone… into a smudgy flow that carried me like a coffin towards fire disasters. My mind burned in the Great Knysna Fire – so much loss; how Government failed us whilst lying how good they were; how they threatened me; and that, without justice, life-saving lessons may never be learned, and thus destruction repeated. On that first day, I awoke octogenarian friends who’d been unaware of their neighbour’s house aflame a few metres from their … Read the full article…

Video: The Cape Town water crisis isn’t over

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“People are going to die, and people are going to fight over water,’ states one resident. This is a video about Cape Town’s water crisis, featuring well known figures such as Patricia de Lille, Xanthea Limberg and Helen Zille. Does the water issue best display the differences between the rich and the poor? Or is the more relevant fact that incompetent government, both DA an ANC, has failed us? CAPE TOWN IS THIRSTY “Cape Town is running out of water but the catastrophe was foreseeable – politicians  ignored periods of … Read the full article…
