Public Comment #2: DA vs Mike Hampton

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Trolls are nasty and cheap with facts. Solid comments are rare but there have been a lot more lately. I sometimes don’t know who the commentator is, things getting written farther afield than my pages. Cldntgiveash1t is obviously an anonymous profile but I share because its profile has recorded thousands of comments, sufficient for me to believe there’s real intent that belies the terrific profile name. This was posted on the Knysna-Plett Herald’s page. They’re the newspaper with a coveted spot in the DA’s arsehole. They wouldn’t allow me right … 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…

They attack me, I defend with more truth

Mike Hampton Posted on by

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU HERE. I don’t have money so when the Democratic Alliance (DA) attacks me, my defence is to fight back through exposing more truths about them. My motivation this past week was another crooked DA councillor getting an interim order against me, the court date for consideration of permanent order in 2 weeks time. That Knysna Magistrates’ Court is corrupt, a sickness against decency, having never once considered my evidence or mentioned the DA’s role in its judgements against me. The Knysna Magistrates’ Court even … Read the full article…

DA’s MM Kam Chetty implicated in fraud

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Knysna DA’s ex-Municipal Manager Kam Chetty and Legal Services Director Melony Paulsen have been implicated in fraud, partly because of their actions against me, an activist. The investigation was conducted by De Swardt Vogel Myambo Attorneys. The allegations of misconduct and fraud include: Chetty took office on July 10 2017 but allegedly only signed his contract 6 weeks later on August 24 2017. He, in collusion with others in the Municipality and Council, appeared to delay until National Government announced higher salaries and benefits. It suggests he was bought, … Read the full article…

Calls to use live ammo on Plett protestors

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“USE LIVE AMMO” is one of the nasty comments in response to yesterday’s protest in Plettenberg Bay – www.facebook.com/KnysnaPlettHerald/posts/1831789653579650. It horribly reminds me how the ex-head of the Knysna Ratepayers Association once also called for live ammo to be used and had one of his friends back him up by suggesting that the same bulldozers used on Palestinians should be brought in. Both were DA members, removed but with the DA failing to appropriately address the issue, seemingly more interested in their image than substance. Unfortunately, the NP’s presence will … Read the full article…

Knysna-Plett Herald: Bullshit Journalism Deserves Criminal Charges

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I WILL LAY CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST YOU To the Knysna-Plett Herald, particularly Editor Elaine King and Group Editors Director Nicole Rimbault, you continue to allow Mark Allan, the DA’s propagandist pal, the man you know i have a protection order against, to defile me with the blessing from your Facebook page. The past week has been despicable. I’m going to make it very simple for you. Civil action will come but must wait it’s turn in this political mess you’ve embroiled yourself in. Separately, i’m reporting you to the Ombudsman … Read the full article…
