Parliament condemned intimidation against me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

After I submitted evidence against the DA and Knysna Municipality, Parliament condemned the threats and intimidation against me. However, they lied. They did nothing to help or deliver justice. Their press release was political bullshit, like using paper as a shield against a water cannon. Again, I ask: “Why is the ANC protecting the DA leadership?” And, again, “Why did national media ignore it?” ‘Same Poo, Different Government’, the first book on DA corruption, on sale online on April 1 2019. Read Parliament’s warning below (wait a few seconds for … Read the full article…

DA Poo #11 – Psychopath Mark Allan

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Do politicians steal? Or is it that we’re giving them whatever they want? Surely that’s the only way an outsider could interpret us doing nothing about it? We’re like a healthy person laying down to die. But it hasn’t been as simple as that for me. I didn’t lie down and so they came for me. Being beaten and mugged several times in my life cannot compare to the cruelty I faced in Knysna. The DA was willing to do anything to maintain power through cover-up. The National Party, the … Read the full article…

Western Cape Parliament protecting corrupt MEC Anton Bredell

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The DA Federal Executive and Premier Helen Zille ignored my complaint against MEC Bredell for committing perjury in Parliament, protecting himself and the property developers he favoured against the Public. So I tried a different route, a step lower down the ladder of power. SHARNA FERNANDEZ Sharna Fernandez, the DA’s Speaker for the Western Cape Provincial Parliament, acknowledged my complaint in November 2018. On the Provincial Parliament website, she states: “As Speaker, I hope to draw the attention of all citizens of this province to the rights and responsibilities our … Read the full article…

The DA rubs cronyism salt in our wounds

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Democratic Alliance’s rewarding of criminals continues. They’re doing exactly what they accuse the ANC of. Politics is a marketing scheme to biased supporters. I’ve related in detail how the DA’s leadership has protected Eleanore Spies. She was the Mayor of Knysna but, last year, got promoted to Speaker for the Garden Route District after a forensic report recommended that she face a disciplinary hearing and criminal charges for theft and fraud. Her husband was involved in fraud and graft separately, years ago. He too became a DA councillor despite … Read the full article…

DA Poo #12 – Conversation with cows

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Expecting a political party to be honest and altruistic is as useful as a conversation with a cow. I’ve got nothing against cows but I’m adverse to the Knysna Council Chamber. Politicians called councillors still meet there to moo or deny the recommendations of municipal officials. The decisions I witnessed were not always in our best interest. An impartial person might consider the Council Chamber conservatively tasteful but I spent too many years making my arse sore in the Public gallery. I found the photos of Government leaders adorning the … Read the full article…

DA Poo #13 – DA makes fraudster a councillor

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“The DA-led Bitou Municipality commissioned a report in 2011, into irregularities between itself and a company called Xylophone Investments No 10 CC. The result showed that Rowan Spies, who’d become a DA Councillor in 2016, had been involved in fraud and graft. It was reported that there was ANC connection. At the time, his wife, Eleanore Spies, was the ANC Mayor of Knysna. One payment had gone into their joint account. After the DA made Eleanore their Knysna Mayor in 2016, an opposing faction of the DA forced an investigation … Read the full article…
