Zille and Ramaphosa are liars, but so are we!

Mike Hampton Posted on by

We’re broken and South Africa is our reflection. Liberalism and communism are dead except as flags waving for no one and politicians. Democracy has become a society of cannibals trying not to be eaten. We are a bankrupt nation, morally and financially. It’s painfully clear that the Democratic Alliance can practice corruption with impunity and that President Cyril Ramaphosa lied to us about fighting crime. Our country remains captured, from top to bottom. But we cannot blame people such as Zille and Ramaphosa alone because we, as a society of … Read the full article…

Cyril Ramaphosa and the War for South Africa

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Cyril Ramaphosa has become the President of the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party of South Africa since 1994. Ramaphosa is closer to becoming President of an increasingly divided country when general elections are held in 2019. However, his ruling the nation isn’t guaranteed. It was a stormy road to the ANC’s 54th National Conference which was held this past weekend (December 16-20 2017). The build-up and the nature of politics carries insight into the uncertain future of South Africa. INCONVENIENT FRIENDS & CONVENIENT ENEMIES 2017 has arguably being … Read the full article…

Bye Bye

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Know that there’s moves afoot to return the old African National Congress government to Knysna but under the Democratic Alliance banner. If our insane politics of greed for power hasn’t yet taught you that there are no political parties, only power groups, then you are destined to be a sheep with a narrowing future. You’ll have to figure out the maze yourself. You’ll have no transparent news source as i’m leaving until January 15 2017. I’ve got lots to catch up on and don’t want to head into a new … Read the full article…

Dear ANC Chief Whip Victor Molosi

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dear African National Congress Chief Whip Victor Molosi, i compose this letter to you out of love for our town… It’s unfortunate that you force me to address you in this strong manner but i believe that the people of Knysna are more important than your failure to act. This open letter is driven by Knysna deserving better than what the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) have delivered so far. You’ve failed to accept invitations to meet me. The Provincial Executive Committee has failed to make … Read the full article…

Today the EFF is King of the SA Jungle!

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Today, the EFF is King of the South African political jungle.. The Economic Freedom Fighters will either end several hung councils by announcing who they will be forming coalitions with… or they will force minority governments closer to democracy than they’ve ever been before. This is the EFF’s moment, the payoff for their media brashness and repeated Parliament disruptions. Love them or hate them, politics, like much of our lives, needs rebels…. …but because this is politics, hypocrisy abounds too, the ANC and DA undoubtedly having spent the past week … Read the full article…

2016: This is Who Mike Hampton Voted For

Mike Hampton Posted on by

There’s political madness in our town. The ANC hate me. The DA hate me. The Ubuntu Party really hates me… you get the picture. Life as an activist may have its challenges but i finally figured out who to give my Ward and Council vote to. I show you how i decided it… over breakfast before i left for the voting station 🙂 PS: Apologies to Mark Taylor, the independent for Ward 10. After i finished the video, i found his name tag had been left behind on my desk.
