REPORTING CORRUPION IN YOUR MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY

Helen Zille and Mmusi Maimane, are you evil? Considering your cover-up and negative inaction regarding the Democratic Alliance (DA) corruption I’ve reported to you, it’s fair question.

I worry that if kicking a baby meant protecting the crimes of the DA, I’d feel damn sorry for the baby. That baby is the Public you earn protection money from. You got the money, you got rich, where’s our protection?

Before I repeat that corruption, let me elaborate on why your current position is your best opportunity to convert your past lies into the real thing. Instead of being hollow electioneers, you could temporarily become good governance and anti-corruption.

HELEN

Helen, you know me, so you know where I’m going with this. I’m predictable in my pursuit for justice for my town of Knysna which was directly wrecked by your version of the DA.

The recent interview of you by Eusebius McKaiser, on Cape Talk, was wonderfully disgraceful. The “wonderful” was for me but that kind of happiness is petty, selfishly impractical. I need to get past the small luxuries you’ve reduced me to. I’d rather you save lives than diminish yourself for my useless amusement.

You claimed “your lane” is separate to Mmusi’s. That unbelievable suggestion that you’ve no power in the DA makes me wonder if the new media company you announced is going to be another propaganda vehicle.

Please skip the bullshit battle of ‘ideas’ and driverless self-righteousness. You influenced the party when you were Cape Town’s mayor, then as the Western Cape’s Premier and Leader. Not even your temporary relocation to your crime supporting buddies, the IRR, could stop you. The relevance of your influence is most evident in this past Sunday’s election of you as Chairperson of the DA Federal Council (DA FedEx).

There’s no one in our country who doesn’t think you’re the boss. Because of your selection as a representative of liberalism that doesn’t appeal to the majority of South Africans, including the overwhelmingly unemployed, the DA is going to decline. It doesn’t help that you’re now seen as a symbol of apartheid rather than the anti-apartheid activist you once were. Whether that’s fair or not is debatable but your unadmitted detail is that you changed, and like so many other politicians, you rested on your past instead of the actions of the person you’ve become. You’re a beast that puts the blue party ahead of South Africa (instead of making it for South Africa). You protect the vile deeds of your colleagues, thus making yourself vile.

But you’re talented and strong so the smaller group you control may become cohesively louder. The EFF taught you that lesson. And becoming ideological opposition may retain the sponsors who are the boss of the bosses, are they not? Without them, you don’t get paid.

Even if we were all wrong about your power, you’d still have enough to make a difference within. If you denied that too, it would be bizarre submission that you’ve no control over personal morality. Imagine if you stood up on national TV and said: “I stand against corruption, especially within my own party. An activist has brought to my attention great wrongdoing in Knysna, enabled by the DA’s leadership. I will act swiftly, to assist the citizens of that town, and to ensure that the DA is representative of the values I believe in.”

MMUSI

Mmusi, from the beginning, I’ve considered you to be the DA’s pawn star. Nevertheless, in title you’re the Leader of the DA. I must address you, to repeatedly cover all bases when this gets added to the evidence (I’ve built up a massive PRECCA case against the party and many within it).

Additionally, few remain willingly helpless when their steak is stolen. I’d prefer you to be a good person but, in absence of that, I must hope you find your balls, and do something more than lick them.

I don’t mince my words because all you and Helen have done is earn my disgust. I’d welcome a change in observation.

YOU’RE BOTH GUILTY

I demand you act on the evidence of corruption I’ve presented to you for years.

Helen, don’t intimidate me with your bodyguards, or threaten me as you’ve twice done before; the first to embarrass me; the second to sue and jail me.

Mmusi, your continued silence is as despicable as her actions. The effect is the same, the choice of criminals at the expense of a citizen whistleblower. No one in your mighty position of responsibility can be silent and innocent. You earned almost R2-million annually whilst you looked away. You sold yourself, you sold my town.

Stop the myriad court cases to silence me. Don’t send blue trolls to profile me as a sociopath and child molester again.

Skip being the Drama DA to address the facts which overwhelming prove DA corruption (you encouraged).

If you don’t like the truth, change the truth not into lie but into Truth itself. You both have power! It’s better to wield whips now, rather than stretch scandal into the 2021 Local Government Elections.

YOUR MOMENT OF OPPORTUNISM

Helen, your promotion is opportunity. Label it as something friendly, but act in a self-serving direction that will also benefit my beloved town of Knysna.

Solidify your faction so as to protect yourself, the Cape Town cash cow, and your Kingdom of the Western Cape (you’re not looking good elsewhere in South Africa so it makes sense to cling best to the mixed colour area you’ve most chance of holding onto). Have no doubt that Knysna is the DA flagship of ineptitude. The people of our province are aware of our little town, and I’ve played a major role in that awareness.

As you were the Constituency Officer for Knysna before the latest elections, and the Leader of its corruption before then, you must realise that it’s practical to side with the local rebels who you’ve become acquainted with – I refer to DA Mayor Mark Willemse and his boss, DA Councillor Peter Myers. Their faction of misdeed has been cheering you on social media which is an opening for you. They may be naughty but Alan Winde and the DA Federal Executive’s effort to remove them, and install greater evil, stinks as if that baby you kicked has been left to rot on Waterfront Drive. They may be, like you, my enemies, but, for now, Knysna needs Myers and Willemse, and their coalition with the ANC (which is improvement on the previous DA council alone). Knysna matters more than the DA or me.

Mmusi, you’re under pressure. Use these corruption issues to build a defence for your worthiness as a leader. Failing that, if Helen does nothing, attack her with it… cause even if you join a new party, you will share the same side of the court room one day.

Alternatively, if you two want the Public to buy into the DA being a united front, squash the laughing with joint action. Prove that no DA miscreant gets protected, that you serve the Public first.

THE CORRUPTION

Begin with my summary of the corruption, and the ongoing threat I face because of it. Then, as toddler steps towards truth and accountability:

1. Communicate and cooperate with me. Stop the intimidation, punish those involved. Do you best to convert me into someone who cheers.
2. Obey the De Swardt Vogel & Myambo fraud findings by initiating disciplinary hearings against DA National Assembly member Eleanore Spies and Knysna Municipality Legal Adviser Melony Paulsen. Insist on the Hawks following through on the criminal cases already filed, which would also lead to the prosecution of ex-Municipal Manager Kam Chetty.
3. Act on the Mazars Report, related affidavits and many accompanying Bitou papers to discipline Rowan Spies, fraudster and DA Garden Route District Mayoral Committee member.
4. Pursue my perjury complaint against DA provincial Chair and MEC Local Government Anton Bredell, whilst simultaneously investigating Treasury’s report into the ISDF tender which he ignored to favour property developers.
5. Acknowledge the illegal funding of tourism companies in the province, beginning with Knysna. Then fix it. That would include addressing the related perjury by Premier Alan Winde to the Western Cape Legislature.
6. Respect the victims of the Great Knysna Fire by punishing those involved in the self-serving and fraudulent investigation into its cause. Be transparent and accountable regarding what happened to the donations.
7. Contact NCOP and tell them you wish to cooperate with my Love Knysna Petition.

Dion George is currently the Constituency representative for Knysna. He’s your latest prick for the DA and against our town. As he refuses to respond to messages, but happily utters propaganda, ensure that he has a copy of this letter. Better still, as a gesture of good faith, prosecute him under PRECCA, and remove him as your DA Federal Finance Chair (because trusting someone who supports corruption to control your money is either reward or insanity).

ARE WE YOUR BABY OR ARE YOU EVIL?

Will you look after us, the Western Cape Public who are meant to be the DA’s baby? Or do you intend continuing as the blue fire that burns us the most?

It’s simple – either you are Corruption, or you fight it. Only verbal hypocrites, most often politicians and government officials, are found in between.

You’re not leaders because you’re elected. You only earn that title when you successfully lead by good example.

The Christian Bible you two have so far falsely claimed to believe in says that creation (and a rewarding rest) took 7 days. Those 7 steps in the previous section would be you creating a better future for Knysna and the DA.

I’ll never forgive you but allow history to one day paint a better picture of you.

Embrace the opportunity to be true… and allow me to return home.
