The Final Climb – My 100 days against Democratic Alliance corruption

Mike Hampton - 100 days activism vs Democratic Alliance corruption

If you’ve appreciated my exposure of Government corruption the past decade, please give me your attention and help the next 100 days.
 
I will keep appealing to National Government for help but, if that fails, I’ll contact my DA and property developer enemies and suggest how they can have the best shot at jailing me for the 6 contempts of courts I have against me because I exposed their corruption and believe that the Public Interest matters.
 
Our country is corrupt. The Western Cape is just part of that broken system where politicians are protected at our expense. I’ve tried my best to get justice and will continue to do so, documenting what I do these 100 days. If you count 101 it’s because I want the 30th of September to be my day off 🙂
 
I’m down to my last R1,000 with no future income. I know it’s tough times but if you’re fortunate to have R50 or anything spare, for printing and to help me advertise my most important posts, please find my bank details at https://wp.me/P9Of25-1YD

Dear DBSA, about that R71m loan to corrupt Knysna

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Hi Ben Mokheseng and Sebolelo Matsoso, and your Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA). Again, I contact you from our imploded Knysna Municipality. I have news and a document pertaining to alleged corruption by Chief Financial Officer Mbulelo Memani and Deputy Mayor Aubrey Tsengwa. This is for your meeting about us on Monday, June 15. I WAS DISMAYED THAT DBSA DOESN’T CARE It’s impractical that you shut down my queries. Instead, as expected, you contacted Knysna Municipality about me. Unfortunately our country has a history of banks caring about money … Read the full article…

Dear Louis Scheepers, Knysna’s new Municipal Manager

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dr Louis Scheepers, you’ve ‘inherited’ Knysna Municipality, a never-ending parade of rotten municipal managers and politicians falling on the Public sword. Considering that you relinquished your new post in Cape Town, you’ve extra desire for this job, and would want to be considered for permanent position. I’m hoping that works out for our town. Knysna is a tremendously pretty place for your family to relocate to. And we need someone who puts the fight against corruption first. Is that you? NEVER COMPROMISE The mistake of your predecessors was in choosing … Read the full article…

Dear Mayor Ricky, who will you be now?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dear Mayor Ricky van Aswegen. On the first anniversary of the Great Knysna Fire, I wrote a letter to Mayor Mark Willemse. It was his first day in office, and he’d chosen you to be his Deputy. It was also a letter to you, which is why I ended with: “Elrick van Aswegen, or Ricky as we know you, I’m hoping you’re reading this letter too. As the new Deputy Mayor, you need to be the rock for Mark. You have more experience in that Council than any other. You … Read the full article…

Knysna’s new Mayor is Elrick van Aswegen

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Elrick van Aswegen (COPE) is Knysna’s new Mayor. He was nominated by the ANC and KUC. The DA’s votes for Michelle Wasserman failed. The DA’s motion to remove ANC Speaker Titi Gombo, and replace with Georlene Wolmarans, failed. Dr Louis Scheepers, Knysna’s new Acting Municipal Manager, will arrive on the weekend. Van Aswegen, or Ricky as most people know him, is from the suburb of Hornlee. He fills the post after it had been empty for 9 months. He takes power during a triple crisis involving finance, the coronavirus and … Read the full article…

Gratz must go!

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Dr Michele Gratz must go! Today is supposed to be her last day as Knysna’s devious Acting Municipal Manager. But the day isn’t over… and I did say she’s devious. THE DA NEEDED A DEVIL Over the past 2 weeks, the Knysna Democratic Alliance (DA) and the DA-controlled Western Cape Government destabilised Knysna in order to take control away from the ANC. Their shared black heart is a fight between criminals for power. Us 86,000 citizens of Knysna are collateral damage, our blood spurting uselessly in potholes as it has … Read the full article…

Fraud allegations against Knysna ANC Deputy Mayor and Chief Financial Officer

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Knysna Municipality is a battle zone. It’s full of the ghosts and the bleeding. In between are skeletons. The latest of many to be unearthed are allegations of corruption against Chief Financial Officer Mbulelo Memani and ANC Deputy Mayor Aubrey Tsengwa. The author in the 4-page letter below is (now suspended) Municipal Manager Sitembele Vatala. Vatala is scarred by complaints too. However, here it must be explained why Memani wasn’t suspended and investigated by an independent contractor. It must be uncovered why, instead, Vatala was suspended. There is also no … Read the full article…
