Hawks Part 2: Recommendations for investigation

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Based on my complaint, the Hawks (DPCI: Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation) recommended investigation into corruption in the Western Cape. Reference for media: ‘Case – Cape Town OC 19/07/2018’. The Hawks spokesperson is Captain Nkwalase, the only decent officer I dealt with during this process – NkwalasePS1@saps.gov.za. The ‘analysis’ was conducted by: Colonel Piet Bergh (Chief Priority Crime Management Centre) Captain Philip van Dyk (Van Bergh’s right-hand man) Colonel Abdul Enus (Unit Commander Anti-Corruption) You may think that this is a victory for me but it definitely isn’t. It’s a … Read the full article…

Western Cape Parliament protecting corrupt MEC Anton Bredell

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The DA Federal Executive and Premier Helen Zille ignored my complaint against MEC Bredell for committing perjury in Parliament, protecting himself and the property developers he favoured against the Public. So I tried a different route, a step lower down the ladder of power. SHARNA FERNANDEZ Sharna Fernandez, the DA’s Speaker for the Western Cape Provincial Parliament, acknowledged my complaint in November 2018. On the Provincial Parliament website, she states: “As Speaker, I hope to draw the attention of all citizens of this province to the rights and responsibilities our … Read the full article…

DA Poo #15 – Whiny bitches

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Face it, if you’re the average citizen, you don’t control your future. Not because you can’t but because you’re lazy. You’re like almost everyone else who allows others to make important decisions for them. Then you bitch about the Government at a braai, or during the intermission of a rugby or soccer game. And you feel ok cause you’re drinking a beer in the company of other whiny bitches. If I just described you, the biggest question in your life should be, “Who do I want to control my future?” … Read the full article…

Grant Easton, Captain of the Pirate Ship

Mike Hampton Posted on by

In today’s issue of the Knysna-Plett Herald’s SMS section, someone texted: “The Mayor could not wait for the ISDF report as she needs a captain for her ship. Hope it’s not a pirate ship.” The appointment of Grant Easton as Knysna’s Municipal Manager is arguably the most controversial since the DA took power in 2011. When the motion was carried through, it should have been a momentous occasion but the ONLY person to clap was Christopher Bezuidenhout, the well-paid Communications Manager who refuses to communicate with the public on the … Read the full article…

Does Political Bias Reward Knysna Ward Committee Members?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Where were they? What positions do they hold now? Is it possible that political bias rewards Knysna Ward Committee members? As mentioned several times on this blog, there are people who are failing Knysna because of political bias. Looking at the photo above, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a reward for ignoring the public. Municipalities and Ward Committees are not weapons for political parties. If they were, municipalities would not be staffed by the general public and ward committees would not exist. They are there to serve everyone! … Read the full article…

2. …Or Are They Evil?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Whilst Oudtshoorn and Bitou stagger through a carnage of politicians bent on gaining power at all costs, Knysna has, relatively, escaped the negative spotlight it deserves. No resident wants to discourage tourists, business ventures or new homeowners but the sheer scale of the problem insists that it be addressed before it reaches a point of no return. The implementation of the ISDF (Integrated Strategic Development Framework) maybe that tipping point. What is the ISDF? It’s a plan to shape the future of Knysna. It will decide where houses and businesses … Read the full article…
