Namibia update #1: Hunger strike begins

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Yesterday was for nervousness. Now I’m exhausted. I was tired when I awoke but another 24hrs no sleep finds me rough and tender. STUCK I’m stuck at Namibia’s main airport. The immediate problem was it being a public holiday. Immigration slowly climbed the ranks until the Commissioner for Refugees was kind enough to speak to me on the telephone. I have zero money so no accommodation. The Commissioner asked the police to give me safe haven for the night but they wouldn’t as they said I hadn’t committed a crime. … Read the full article…

CXpress, newspaper supporting DA corruption

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The CXpress newspaper printed a one-sided story about me, at the beginning of this month. It related to the High Court order to shut down my website, stop my book, and arrest me. You can read it in the pdf reader at the bottom of this page (thanks to it being reposted in ShowMe Knysna). Nowhere therein does anyone mention freedom of speech, especially that special sub-category, INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. The propaganda piece was instigated by regular protagonists, married couple ex-Knysna DA Deputy Mayor Esme Jefferys and ex-municipal … Read the full article…

Corruption in the Office of the Public Protector

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Office of the Public Protector (OPP) has been protecting the corruption of the Democratic Alliance. This is one of the four most important publications I’ve made in nine years of activism. The others are my affidavit to the Hawks, my submission to NCOP and my book, ‘Same Shit Different Government’. It’s my firm belief that Senior Investigator Gideon Landman, George Branch Manager of the OPP, should be in jail. His boss, Western Cape Manager Sune Griessels, and his ex-colleague Bruce Wessels, deserve investigation too. So does Ruthven Janse van … Read the full article…

Hawks 4: Complaint to Bheki Cele & Lt Gen Godfrey Lebeya

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The SAPS in the Western Cape have been protecting the corruption of the Democratic Alliance. The offices of President Cyril Ramaphosa, Minister Police Bheki Cele and Hawks Chief Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya are allowing it. The simple fact is that I’m constantly pursued by corrupt politicians yet the Government isn’t pursuing them. That isn’t coincidence. That’s collusion. And collusion is criminal. Who do I turn to when the people who are supposed to help are the ones doing the hurting? South Africa is a country for the powerful, not for … Read the full article…
