The ‘Helen Zille Flyer’

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The hoo-ha that the Knysna-Plett Herald and the Democratic Alliance (DA) made about my interaction with Helen Zille was exaggerated. I explain more in ‘An Honest Helen Zille Will Be Outraged at Her Minions’. Next week, I’ll post recordings of the whole meeting (that includes good things too). Now, I share with you the 4-page, ‘Helen Zille flyer’ that I handed to her and others present at that meeting at the Knysna Angling Club. After our short meeting, Helen Zille said she’d read it and, during our conversation, said she’d … Read the full article…

Cleaning the Knysna Estuary Shore

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dolores Coullie, the owner of Pata Patina in Grey Street, has made it her mission to clean up the estuary shore next to the Knysna Angling Club. I joined her this morning for two and a half hours during which we collected at least 30kg worth of rubbish, much of it broken bottles. One corner was overwhelmingly smelly with rot and faeces. In fact, the first piece of rubbish Dolores picked up was a used condom. A distributor of Builder’s Express had dumped two large packets of pamphlets advertising holiday … Read the full article…

Pojiekos Competition & Eating Fun

Enjoy this Sunday, November 2, with the Chairman’s Pojie Kos Competition. This fun event is presented by KADA (Knysna Angling and Diving Association) and hosted at the Knysna Angling Club. There’s a R100 entry fee for each team of two people. Lots of prizes to be won. For only R15, the public will dig their taste buds into a scoop of rice and a scoop of a potjie of their choice. Entrants should be there between 8-10am (depending on the time it’ll take them to make their potjie) and everyone … Read the full article…
