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…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Attention Politicians: You think we’re nothing but WE’RE EVERYTHING.” – The Public The Democratic Alliance’s attack, against the half a million residents of the Garden Route, has been exposed.

Mayor Ricky and Manager Louis, your cover-up of corruption is rejected

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Mayor Elrick van Aswegen and Acting Municipal Manager Dr Louis Scheepers, your cover-up of corruption is rejected. COVER-UP REJECTED I approached you with good intention to help Knysna. You responded with ambush. What you did to me in our telephone conference yesterday was unacceptably unproductive. You deliberately ensured that not one topic could be discussed. That you did it whilst pretending to be reasonable and claiming to be helpful makes you chameleon sharks. You cannot be trusted. Consequently, I’m going to acknowledge what you are and be necessarily direct. If … Read the full article…
