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…

Bonginkosi Madikizela, skip the luxury car, take a coronavirus taxi

DA Western Cape Leader Bonginkosi Madikizela should travel to work via taxiYesterday, the SABC reported that Western Cape Democratic Alliance Leader and MEC Transport “Bonginkosi Madikizela says it is time that people are allowed to go back to work without any further restrictions. He was reacting to a decision by taxi operators to load passengers to full capacity which is in breach of current lockdown regulations.”

I wonder if Madikizela wasn’t in the DA (the opposition to the ANC), wasn’t MEC Transport, and if he and his family travelled to work via taxi, would he take the same position? Why should we trust the motives of politicians, especially him, when they’ve lied to us so many times?

The 3 Stages of Municipal Corruption (South Africa)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The 3 Stages of Municipal Corruption (A Guide for Politicians and Municipal Managers): 1. We cover-up our corruption through denial, omission and propaganda. 2. We only admit there’s a problem after it explodes. Then reassure the Public that we’re in control and fixing it (but be careful not to provide timelines or take direct responsibility). 3. Pretend problem fixed by redeploying as few friends as possible. Use own crisis to make Public fearful. Then sell Public land and take new loans to fill hole. The Public are stupid and lazy … 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…

The coronavirus confession of a chipaholic

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is my confession, you don’t have to forgive me… Hi, my name is Mike. I’ve a confession to make. I’m not asking forgiveness because my hypocrisy doesn’t deserve it. I’m… err… ahh… mmm… this is so hard… I’m a chipaholic! I criticise smokers and fat people but my chip addiction was out of control when I lived in Knysna. Junk food is the cheapest treat when poor. Every time I had money, I went foraging. I was a neanderthal with a mall for my cave. When the Chinese shop … Read the full article…
