DA leadership attacking own councillors standing against corruption

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I wish I could say that you wouldn’t believe what the DA leadership has done but the slippery slope of corruption is a natural slide. This is the ultimate proof that your vote and petitions means nothing to the corrupt and powerful. The DA has issued a flyer against its own Knysna Mayor, denouncing him with blatant propaganda meant to protect the corruption its leadership is implicated in… The province of the Western Cape is captured. The Democratic Alliance (DA) has become arrogant in the fact that law enforcement agents … Read the full article…

DA Mayor gets ANC Deputy Mayor in Knysna

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Knysna’s DA Mayor now has an ANC Deputy Mayor and an ANC Speaker… WINNERS & LOSERS On May 31, Knysna Democratic Alliance Mayor Mark Willemse easily defeated a Motion of No Confidence (MONC) brought against him by fellow councillor Michelle Wasserman, who is considered by some to be proxy for Premier Alan Winde. On June 1, DA Western Cape Leader Bonginkosi Madikezela stated that the DA was now the opposition in Knysna. It was obviously a strange thing to say as the DA had won the 2016 election and, through … Read the full article…

Their recent successes wouldn’t have happened unless they’d the passion to stay together longer than their local counterparts. Talent needs balls too. I’m not kidding.

They’ve supported notables Seether and 36 Crazyfists but it’s … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The photos I post on Facebook at 6am are from the past. They’re not what’s happening now. On May 1, I took a photo of myself at Windhoek airport, meaning to begin my hunger strike against corruption then. The Namibian government implied I’d be deported if I wasn’t a good guest. I complied but got sick the same day, losing 5kg over the next two weeks. My protest began quietly on May 16. I lost another 5kg by May 31, the day I returned to South Africa. As I don’t … Read the full article…

Dewa Mavhinga, will Human Rights Watch stand for me against the corrupt?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dewa Mavhinga, as the Southern African Director of Human Rights Watch, will you stand for me against the corrupt? Will you be the first NGO to show no favouritism to the Democratic Alliance (DA)? I hate adding this but it’s uncomfortable fact that the two things most ‘justice NGOs’ in South Africa have in common are similar ‘liberal’ funders and their refusal to defend me against the fake liberal DA.
