Cold Case Apartheid or Cold Case Hammarskjöld?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

‘Cold Case Hammarskjöld’ is unlike any documentary I’ve seen. It’s occasional deadpan humour in the first half flies in plane-crashing contrast to the chills, sadness and anger that eventually imploded me. Did South Africa, with assistance from MI5, the domestic intelligence branch of the British Government, attempt to infect Africans with HIV via fake vaccinations? That question grows as investigator Göran Bjorkdahl and documentarian Mads Brugger seek to discover who assassinated United Nations Secretary General Hammarskjold in 1961. THE ASSASSINATION United Nations (UN) Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld made a mistake. … Read the full article…

‘Where He Will Leave His Shoes?’ is a South African short story observing conscious and unconscious racism and sensuality via the master/servant relationship. It won writer Karen Jayes the 2009 PEN/Studzinski Award and admiration from writers such as JM Coetzee. That inspired her first novel, the Sunday Times Literary Prize winning ‘The Mercy of Water’.

The other was Fire Chief Clinton Manuel who, like Sternsdorf, had escaped scandal in Cape … Read the full article…

The bums of South Africa’s black Zuma trolls

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The tender, the riots, the racists, the DA

Mike Hampton Posted on by

There were riots by Oupad residents in Knysna that led to repeated closures of the N2 in 2016. As the N2 is a National road, the only way in and out of Knysna, the only way to get to other towns above or below, it was a big deal. The Knysna Municipality failed to inform the Public that the main spark was a problem with the T20 tender involving housing, seemingly their fault. Worsening the situation was that a racist white DA Constituent and Ward 10 Committee member called for … Read the full article…
