Breaking News: MEC Bredell’s corruption letter to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This corruption letter will slap more than Knysna to attention.

There are forces afoot, so this letter cannot be considered an honest step towards accountability by the Western Cape Government (WC). But it is interesting. WHAT’S IN THE LETTER? The letter was sent by MEC Local Government Anton Bredell to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo (ANC). The many corruption and maladministration issues within appear to … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Western Cape Office of the Public Protector and Knysna Magistrates’ Court seems to have no intention of protecting me or the citizens of Knysna.

The Rotten Heart of Knysna in Council Today

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Attention Knysna Councillors! Will you, in the Special Council Meeting today, serve the Public or further legitimise the rotten heart of the Knysna Municipality? Acting Municipal Manager Johnny Douglas requests you ignore that Manon McDonald, ex-Manager Electrical Department, was involved in the process that granted R1.3-million in tenders to Jam Electrical, a company whose only member is her husband. Absurdly, Douglas accepts the investigation team’s advice that the related disciplinary hearing against previous Municipal Manager Grant Easton suffices as sufficient warning to staff to obey tender regulations. Easton quit, unpunished. … Read the full article…

It’s unfortunate but must be embraced as further evidence that will result in greater punishment of the crooked who’ve chosen to serve themselves instead of Knysna. NONSENSE On her Facebook page, Mayor Eleanore Spies stated: “There is something very wrong when two people who have no mandate from the Greater Knysna residents nor the local newspaper go to Parliament and state fiction as fact.” … Read the full article…

May 24: Love Knysna Petition Ruling Scheduled

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The ruling on the Love Knysna Petition is scheduled for May 24 2017. That’ll be delivered by Parliament’s Committee on Petitions & Executive Undertakings. If you’re a new reader, not knowing what this is about, view the initial ‘Trouble in Knysna’ submission. That’s grown in size. There’s been a lot more information supplied by me the past year but owing to all the court actions against me, which i strongly believe is an attempt to shut me up and intimidate me, you’ll just have to wait until the Committee makes … Read the full article…
