Warrant of Arrest for DA Councillor Rowan Spies

Mike Hampton Posted on 17th May 2017 by mikehampton1st Nov 2020

A warrant of arrest was issued yesterday for Democratic Alliance Eden District Councillor Rowan Spies. Spies is more well known for his long-term relationship and family with partner Eleanore Spies who is Knysna’s DA Mayor. Knysna falls under Eden District. Rowan Spies seems to destroy the DA’s claims of having a careful vetting system for its candidates. To many locals, Rowan Spies’ unjustified selection was bizarre, his appointment thought to be the result of cronyism, his wife being the DA Speaker for Knysna and about to become Mayor. Furthermore, his … Read the full article…

Drought: Knysna Requests Declaration as Disaster Area

Mike Hampton Posted on 10th Apr 2017 by mikehampton1st Nov 2020

The drought in Knysna led the Council to approve the request to Eden District to declare Knysna a disaster area. The only voice of concern at the decision was COPE’s Elrick van Aswegen who wondered if “disaster area” status would affect the tourism based economy. The opposing argument is that it’ll bring in much needed funds from larger government. Last week, Eden District approved the request which means that it now waits for Cabinet approval. The Cabinet is made up of the President, the Deputy President and Ministers. DISASTER AREA … Read the full article…

Part 4: DA, Rowan Spies, Knysna Mayor & Public Protector

Mike Hampton Posted on 30th Jan 2017 by mikehampton13th Jan 2021

Dear Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, this is the full FOURTH COMPLAINT of corruption as submitted to the Eden District office of the Public Protector. Democratic Alliance Eden District Councillor Rowan Spies is the ex-husband of Democratic Alliance Knysna Mayor Eleonore Spies. He seems to be ex-husband in title only as they live and act together as a married couple. The only visible difference in their relationship is that they are now both politicians and both have switched from the ANC to the DA. She was previously the ANC Mayor when … Read the full article…

The Democratic Alliance are Dirty Ducks!

Mike Hampton Posted on 27th Aug 2016 by mikehampton1st Nov 2020

There are painful, frustrating and maddening moments such as this that make me want to start a local political party that points a middle finger at Cape Town.   Memory Booysen, the ex-Democratic Alliance Mayor of Bitou a.k.a. Plettenberg Bay has been made Mayor of Eden District, the greater area under which we all fall.   During his reign in Plett, there was a major housing scandal and a major electricity scandal. More importantly, to many, is the sexting scandal wherein he was allegedly trading a job for sex – … Read the full article…
