Proudly DA: Fear, Intimidation & Candace Myers
“You are so obviously being targeted… A huge smear campaign which I am sure you are well aware of. I have it on good authority that the DA are actively trying to get you out, by whatever means possible – again, I’m sure no big news to you. I just can’t believe the scale of it. What I am surprised about is the amount of fear involved. People are petrified to stand up. I have watched cases where residents lives have been made unbearably difficult and impossible…” – Candace Myers. … Read the full article…
Is Blindly Supporting Maimane the Right Thing for the DA?
One of my main goals the past 4 years has been to make people think for themselves. It’s been an enormous challenge, understandably so because most of us were born into a divided South Africa.

Hope Defeats Fear

I don’t have the time or the money to cope with working full-time for free anymore. I can’t sort the financial aspect but i can sort time by choosing what to focus on. Hopefully i can return to all at a later date but the consequence on my Love Knysna Facebook is that the jokes and business advertising will vanish but the important issues affecting our lives will remain. Many of you are on that Facebook. Some of you will object. In particular, DA people have already as they can’t … Read the full article…
Why Shaun van Eck?
I’ve had many behind-the-scenes queries about my tactics since yesterday, mostly by people who believe that there is something wrong with Knysna Tourism and the Municipality. That oxymoron answers their questions: Problems do not get sorted if we do not stand up after our questions remain unanswered. If you’re from Knysna, you will be well aware of the pervasiveness of complainers, not doers, especially amongst white folk. I understand that we do not live in simple times and we all carry burdens, fearing to add to the load. It is … Read the full article…
