Corruption in the Office of the Public Protector

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Office of the Public Protector (OPP) has been protecting the corruption of the Democratic Alliance. This is one of the four most important publications I’ve made in nine years of activism. The others are my affidavit to the Hawks, my submission to NCOP and my book, ‘Same Shit Different Government’. It’s my firm belief that Senior Investigator Gideon Landman, George Branch Manager of the OPP, should be in jail. His boss, Western Cape Manager Sune Griessels, and his ex-colleague Bruce Wessels, deserve investigation too. So does Ruthven Janse van … Read the full article…

Hawks 4: Complaint to Bheki Cele & Lt Gen Godfrey Lebeya

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The SAPS in the Western Cape have been protecting the corruption of the Democratic Alliance. The offices of President Cyril Ramaphosa, Minister Police Bheki Cele and Hawks Chief Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya are allowing it. The simple fact is that I’m constantly pursued by corrupt politicians yet the Government isn’t pursuing them. That isn’t coincidence. That’s collusion. And collusion is criminal. Who do I turn to when the people who are supposed to help are the ones doing the hurting? South Africa is a country for the powerful, not for … Read the full article…

Captain Philip van Dyk, also from Cape Town, was in attendance. I was told that they would speak more freely if I never recorded. I will never go off-record again! In addition to affidavits and evidence, I gave copies … Read the full article…

Hawks Part 2: Recommendations for investigation

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Based on my complaint, the Hawks (DPCI: Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation) recommended investigation into corruption in the Western Cape. Reference for media: ‘Case – Cape Town OC 19/07/2018’. The Hawks spokesperson is Captain Nkwalase, the only decent officer I dealt with during this process – NkwalasePS1@saps.gov.za. The ‘analysis’ was conducted by: Colonel Piet Bergh (Chief Priority Crime Management Centre) Captain Philip van Dyk (Van Bergh’s right-hand man) Colonel Abdul Enus (Unit Commander Anti-Corruption) You may think that this is a victory for me but it definitely isn’t. It’s a … Read the full article…

DA bullies, why you can ignore the threats against you

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Many of my subscribers have received threats from Democratic Alliance creeps. Don’t be bullied. For some of you, your crime was simply posting a Facebook review saying something mild like, “Good man. Keep spreading the truth.” Their tactics are dirty but it’s more important for you to treat them as absurd. I explain why you can legally ignore their threats to sue you. DA BULLIES The most regular bully is Advocate July Seton. She’s married to ex-DA Knysna Deputy Mayor Esme Jefferys. Seton was previously a DA candidate and a … Read the full article…
