I warned the DA in 2011

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I predicted what the Democratic Alliance would do to me. I warned them that they’d make me more determined. I just read what I blogged 8 years ago. If the DA had been honest then, I wouldn’t have become an activist… and I wouldn’t have uncovered much more dirt on them. Not dealing with me fairly, not handling the situation, was a strategic mistake by Helen Zille and the DA Federal Executive. I was a frustrated citizen in 2011. I couldn’t understand why the DA, the good guys, weren’t helping … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Watch the video above [unnannounced then, but my hunger strike began that morning] 15 DAYS President Ramaphosa, I’m a corruption fighter but don’t know if you are. In 15 days, when a plane returns me, I’ll be put into the hands of those stabbing our country. I’m giving you my life and this corruption. I’m making it your responsibility. You cannot be my President unless you walk the talk, and make my truth louder. THE VALUE OF A MAN As the leader of the ANC and as President,  it’s appalling … Read the full article…

Namibia update #2: No hunger strike, being a good visitor

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I hate people who cry wolf but my situation demands that I be a good visitor in a foreign country. 7-8 members of the Namibian Government and police (NAMPOL) met me for 2hrs early evening yesterday. That included the Commissioner for Refugees. They were firm but polite. They were happy that my visa was in order and welcomed me to continue my stay but, as I’m not seeking to be a refugee, they won’t help. Via phone, someone higher up also said that South Africa was their friend and that … 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…

Cops raid, say I could be assassinated

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Is there a ‘hit’ on me? Has the DA ordered my death? Or was the suggestion by a cop intimidation? They were at my father’s house in Durban last week, wanting me and my laptop. I wasn’t there. Neither was my laptop. A ‘ HIT’ ON ME I’ve deliberately not been in contact with my Dad, so as to keep him out of what he doesn’t understand. He’s a retiree who avoids conflict. He leads a simple life on a diminishing pension and increasing medical costs. He talks to his … Read the full article…
