Your most popular blogs on KnysnaKeep.org in 2017 involved the Great Knysna Fire, political corruption, racism, fraud and witches. Numerous blogs from previous years remained well read. Overall, there were 242,000 page views, an impressive spotlight on my niche website, even more so considering that i never wrote for 2 months. Whilst i wish there were more citizen activists, you readers prove there’s need for alternate news sources. Facebook statistics were far higher, reaching 130,000 people this December alone.

More Evidence Knysna Fraud #2: Witches & Vampires

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The more bizarre aspect of the fraud involving Maritime Risk Solutions is Retha and Herman van Niekerk being part of the Clan of Ysgithyrwyn, a coven of Witches whose founder, Damon Leff, has become the public voice for Pagans in South Africa. Leff lives in Hoekwil, a forestry area just outside Knysna. His real first name is Gary. He used to call himself Aerial but now uses Damon. He’s both a leader in the South African Pagan Council (SAPC – a registered religious organisation) and the South African Pagan Rights … Read the full article…

This husband and wife team has been exposed as fraudsters with fake qualifications. They run an illegal Knysna business called Fulcrum Limited trading as Maritime Risk Solutions which supplies armed forces for ship and harbour protection overseas. They’ve failed to register their business with CIPC (business registration) and PSIRA (which is the only way for their kind of business to operate and for their staff to legally carry semi-automatic weapons … Read the full article…

South African Witches & Vampires Supporting Fraud (SAPRA, SAPC & SAVA)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

South African witches and vampires are angry with me. I mean “witches” in the real sense of the word, practitioners of magic and curses. I name them as Gary Thomas Leff (a.k.a. Damon Leff), author Christina Engela and fake doctor Retha van Niekerk. Their roles in the pagan community, and their link to vampires, will be revealed. As bizarre as that sounds, this is a true story about pagans supporting a fraudster in their midst. Although this author has no ill will towards the wider pagan movement, this article unavoidably … Read the full article…

Fraud: The ‘Psychologist’ & Men With Guns

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Herman van Niekerk and Retha van Niekerk – who are they really? Figuring that out made this one of the more interesting and shocking cases of fraud. An anonymous Knysna whistleblower’s family allegedly under siege – computer hacked, electronically threatened with death, and physically stalked. That’s what one of their 4 bodyguards said. Considering the possible danger to them, this writer held back on this story for 9 months, hoping the authorities would step in to deliver justice (instead, they’ve failed in many ways). But with more people contacting me, … Read the full article…

Knysna legal war update

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I have submitted a complaint against provincial leaders, Knysna municipal staff and the Knysna Council of politicians (DA and ANC) to the Public Protector with the request that it be handled via Pretoria (as I laid a complaint against their George office for deliberately failing their duty). I have also laid two separate charges of fraud/corruption with the SAPS regards the illegal tendering of the ISDF, (the 30-year plan for our town) and Knysna Tourism. Again, I asked for it to be referred outside of our Province (to the Hawks) … Read the full article…
