Breaking News: MEC Bredell’s corruption letter to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This corruption letter will slap more than Knysna to attention. Desperate to hang onto power, the leadership of the Democratic Alliance has been leopard crawling through the fynbos and ostrich droppings in our Garden Route towns. There are forces afoot, so this letter cannot be considered an honest step towards accountability by the Western Cape Government (WC). But it is interesting. WHAT’S IN THE LETTER? The letter was sent by MEC Local Government Anton Bredell to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo (ANC). The many corruption and maladministration issues within appear to … Read the full article…

Secret Recording: Ex-DA boss James Selfe interfered in Oudtshoorn

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Another secret recording, this time of Lieutenant Colonel James Selfe. He’s the third big Democratic Alliance (DA) name to be involved in illegal, political interference in Oudtshoorn. If you don’t know who he is, you don’t understand the forces that control the DA and, especially, the Western Cape. I previously labelled him as the Mafia Boss of the DA. Although Zille had a fight with him, and she has taken his position as DA Federal Executive Chair (DA FedEx), he obviously still plays a major role in the party. He’s … Read the full article…

The Democratic Alliance has been interfering in towns in the Southern Cape for their political benefit. The conflict of interest of MEC Anton Bredell, who doubles as the DA’s Western Cape Chairperson, has been well reported on this website.

Yesterday, 5 July 2020, Brett Herron, Western Cape MPL and Secretary-General of GOOD, released the following statement. PREMIER ALAN WINDE ADDED TO PUBLIC PROTECTOR COMPLAINT ON DA … Read the full article…

Knysna’s Ratepayers will sue Gratz, Myers and possibly others

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Knysna Ratepayers’ Association (KRA) will sue ex-Acting Municipal Manager Dr Michele Gratz and ex-DA Councillor Peter Myers. THE WAR FOR KNYSNA GETS ANOTHER BATTLEGROUND “All propaganda has to be popular, and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” – Adolf Hitler Part of this relates to the attempted, illegal takeover of Knysna, and the propaganda campaign I exposed one month ago. The schemers needed to discredit the KRA which they knew would stand against them. Peter Myers, however, … Read the full article…

DA Federal Legal Commission will “investigate” Helen Zille

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Democratic Alliance will investigate Federal Chair Helen Zille. This follows her controversial apartheid tweets. It’s ridiculous that Spokesperson Solly Malatsi is stating that the DA will “investigate”, and that he doesn’t know how long it’ll take – it’s a fucking tweet. Read it, read the complaints, compare that to Zille’s past behaviour, she responds, DA makes a decision – done in a week. What the hell is wrong with these people? Wait, don’t answer. That will take longer than a week! Of course, they’re still not investigating her for … Read the full article…

ANC Cameron Dugmore’s letter calling for MEC Anton Bredell’s suspension

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This continues one of the most important stories for residents of the Western Cape. This will affect the elections, especially the DA, and possibly land issues in the province too (as MEC Anton Bredell is the best friend of unscrupulous property developers). The ANC’s Cameron Dugmore is a Western Cape MPL (Member of the Provincial Legislature), and Leader of the Opposition. He’s also a member of the Standing Committee on Premier & Constitutional Matters. On Saturday, he made this Facebook post, sharing his letter to Premier Alan Winde (DA) wherein … Read the full article…
