Helen Zille Knysna Meeting #2: Mike Hampton

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Did I, as the Media claimed, “hijack” Helen Zille’s election meeting? Knysna has been denied answers by the Democratic Alliance (DA) regarding so many issues. My personal pursuit has met the walls of DA Eastern Region Manager Jaco Londt, MEC Alan Winde and Helen Zille. When I took some matters to Parliament, the DA alternatively refused to answer, lied and sought delay based on falsehood. The DA refuses to admit when it does wrong. The covering up of cronyism is more important to them than us. It’s ironic that Helen … Read the full article…

Knysna-Plett Herald Prints Another DA Letter Against Me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Seen the latest lies about me in the The Knysna-Plett Herald today? Were those letters for the love of Knysna or do they have a political agenda? The first was written by Dr Martin Young who has applied to become a DA councillor. Before Young subscribed to politics, he had nothing to say about me. Now he’s got lots to say. Just like others in the DA since i reported them to Parliament. The second letter is by another doctor, Dr Douglas Seton, brother of Advocate Julie Seton who represents, … Read the full article…

To understand why i have that opinion, we need to first step back to the last Council meeting of 2015. The contentious issue then was the ISDF, the 30-year plan for Knysna and the request for more money for the controversial tender winners. DA Councillor Peter Myers rightfully requested that answers should be delivered to a Special Council Meeting early in January 2016. Speaker Eleonor Spies, his fellow DA councillor, strangely … Read the full article…

The Mayor, The Spokesman, The Editor & The ISDF

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The battle for the future of Knysna sunk to new lows this week with the Knysna-Plett Herald publishing biased reporting as well as the lies of Mayor Georlene Wolmarans and Knysna Municipality Spokesperson Christopher Bezuidenhout. The ISDF is the mother of all plans that will determine the future of our town and the 72 000 of us who live here. My article, sardine-packed with facts, was seen by over 100 000 on Facebook. I was thankful for the views of this important issue but the real goal was to explain … Read the full article…

Knysna Municipality’s Tender Fraud Scandals for Xmas

Mike Hampton Posted on by

‘Stay Awake Lest the Knysna DA Destroy You’ was the sensational title of my blog 4 days ago. In it, i said, “Some allegiances are shifting right now, most just to save themselves, but there’s a chance that some of that wall they’ve built between us and them will break. There may even be some revelations before the year is out. I have some for you but others do too.” I got criticised for that, some people thinking that i was over dramatising, but the majority of my readers have … Read the full article…
