This is what we still don’t know about the Knysna Fire, and why it’s affecting us today

Mike Hampton Posted on by

WE SURVIVED THE GREAT KNYSNA FIRE We are the survivors. With help from friends and strangers, we got through the worst fire in our country’s history. Some of us did our best to help too. We are rightfully emotional, especially for unresolved issues. It is assured that we are experiencing mixed memories on its third anniversary (June 7). Kindness is godsend, anger is not… SOUTH AFRICANS RUSHED TO HELP US 2017 must be remembered for our dead and damaged but also for the praiseworthy way South Africans, from every province, … Read the full article…

3 years after the Great Knysna Fire, I’m still burning

Mike Hampton Posted on by

KNYSNA FIRE ANNIVERSARY Tomorrow is June 7. How did the 3rd anniversary of the Great Knysna Fire get here so quickly? The images are scorched into my brain as if it were months ago. A flame will burn for 1 week atop the Mike Hampton and Love Knysna Facebook pages. It has burned within me for 3 years, and will continue to do so until there’s justice for our dead, the many who became unemployed, those who lost their homes and businesses, and those who continue to be displaced. THE … Read the full article…

Fire disaster, victims, anger, sadness & understanding

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Last week, I sank into depression. One moment I was there and then I was gone… into a smudgy flow that carried me like a coffin towards fire disasters. My mind burned in the Great Knysna Fire – so much loss; how Government failed us whilst lying how good they were; how they threatened me; and that, without justice, life-saving lessons may never be learned, and thus destruction repeated. On that first day, I awoke octogenarian friends who’d been unaware of their neighbour’s house aflame a few metres from their … Read the full article…

2yrs later, DA still blowing smoke about Great Knysna Fire

Mike Hampton Posted on by

It feels impossible that yesterday marked the second anniversary of the Great Knysna Fire. It feels like it happened only months ago. The smoke remains in my nose and the cruelty of Government still invades my mind. Most of us weren’t helped by Government. There was no temporary shelter on a school sports field. The tents were stolen before we saw them. And local law enforcement used official vehicles to rob the donations centre of other goods. There’s been no accountability for donations to the Knysna Municipality. And companies lied … Read the full article…

Unbanned: DA threatened to sue my subscribers for R60-million

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Bullying my subscribers became a hobby of the Democratic Alliance. Unsurprisingly, DA Councillor Dr Martin Young, the man who had zero medical concept of “do no harm”, was most involved again. He threatened to sue citizens for their crime of liking my Love Knysna Facebook page. In at least one campaign, Young was accompanied by a gang of DA constituents. He was supported in one comment by Advocate Julie Seton, an ex-DA candidate married to ex-DA Deputy Mayor Esme Edge. I’ve discussed these people with you before. People I didn’t … Read the full article…

Dr Wallace Vosloo: Great Knysna Fire explanation video

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is the reason why the Great Knysna Fire of 2017 occurred. Dr Wallace Vosloo’s explanation is brilliant and easy to understand. The scientific truth mocks the government’s fraudulent version of events. The video was released June 9 2018. I hadn’t shared it until now because the DA and its cronies have attempted to silence me through too many court orders. I’ve made the decision to refuse to be silent. Liberty isn’t given, it must be fought for, won and maintained.
