Knysna Knews: Whose behind it? (Part 1)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Knysna Knews is most known for being an anonymously run Facebook page that bashes me, an activist who’s been trying to bring justice to a number of questionable situations involving the Democratic Alliance in Knysna. These include a tender deciding the future of our town being given to a property developer, and the illegal use of public funds being used to pay the debt of Knysna Tourism. Since my submission of allegations of maladministration and corruption to Parliament earlier this month, Knysna Knews and some of its subscribers have increased … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Residents with alternative water sources like rain water tanks and spikes or boreholes are urged to register these on the municipality’s database. “We thank residents for their efforts in saving and using water from alternative sources,” said Councillor Louise Hart, chairperson for the Planning, Infrastructure and Development Committee. “While many residents mainly use these alternative sources to water the garden and wash their cars, some residents have taken it a step further, connecting these sources to their household supply,” Hart said. “This water is mainly used in washing machines, dishwashers … Read the full article…

The 2014 winter season has been a dry one resulting in slower river flow. Chairperson … Read the full article…

Again, contrary to normal procedure, i wasn’t given the minutes of the meeting (despite requesting such) but, at some point, they were referenced on a big screen.

The DA & ANC's Financial Rape of Knysna's Taxpayers

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The reckless disregard of politicians for the public’s will continues in Knysna. Yet again, the DA, ANC and COPE have unanimously agreed to give themselves a pay increase. This time it’s 5%. You may not think that’s a lot but it definitely is when you consider the state of Knysna and the fact that we don’t have the money. Let me repeat that – WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY! It’s financial rape.
