‘Zuma Must Fall’ Protest Action Can Lead to Greater Things

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Written by a REFORMED politician. “The premise of this letter is that I LOVE SOUTH AFRICA. I spent 30 years in the fight for a just and free society. I was not alone. We fought for a society where everyone is equal before the law. We fought for the righteous Bill of Rights and the noble principles espoused in the Freedom Charter. We thought that we had won that fight only to find out that we have put the wolf in charge of the sheep and the wealth of the … Read the full article…

The ANC Doesn't Want Coloureds, Mr President

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Last night, i was forwarded an explosive, internal ANC email. It was originally sent to President Jacob Zuma from Ralph Stander, an ex-member of the Western Cape Provincial Executive Committee (PEC). It’s the most important ANC email i’ve read. It’s more important than when i received the criminal record of Oudtshoorn’s ANC Mayor, Gordon April (which the DA strangely kept secret). The email i received was sent from Jan Waarheid. I’m assuming that’s a fake name name so i’m forging ahead with this blog before receiving a response from him/her. Ralph … Read the full article…

What Happened at Hornlee’s Public Drinking Meeting

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Keith Hollis (Leisure Isle) and Ralph Stander (Hornlee) spoke at the Ward 9 public participation meeting (held in Hornlee) regarding the proposed public drinking areas during the holiday season. Although both men made several sensible points, the body language of the public suggests disagreement before beginning i.e. whites on one side of the hall, coloureds on the other.

Development of Black Forestry Contractors

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is a very important and urgent matter because little or no transformation has been done in the forestry sector. These matters have also been highlighted at the Imbizo in Tsitsikamma. What channels should we follow to add action to the recommendation made? What type of support could we expect from Government? This sector is much untransformed. All the wealth and opportunities are still in the hands of the White minority except for Cape Pine that also has a long way to go with regards to transformation. This is a … Read the full article…

New Forest Community Rights Organisation

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Western Cape Forestry Stakeholders Forum (WCFSF) arose out of the Southern Cape Social & Economic Development Forestry Forum (SCSEDFF) that was formed last year to address forestry issues. The main issues were human rights abuses in forestry communities like Brackenhill, Ruigtevlei & Karatara by organizations like PG Bison, SANParks & Cape Nature Conservation. SANParks has subsequently come to meetings and have addressed some of the issues. PG Bison and Cape Nature Conservation have refused to attend any meeting or to come to the party to address the issues. PG … Read the full article…

Shocking Photos of Facilities at Rheenendal Sports Field

Mike Hampton Posted on by

We normally hear about all the politics and the politicians but not enough about the issues affecting the lives of the people they are suppose to serve. Ralph Stander, from the ANC, emailed me (and many others, including Lauren Waring, our Municipal Manager) these cellphone photos showing the despicable state of facilities at the Rheenendal Sports Field, the area which is up for by-election, contested by Eleonor Bouw (DA) and Alberto Marbi (ANC),  on July 2 2014. Knysna should be appalled that our children (yes, if we live here, they … Read the full article…

Jacob Zuma Colonoscopy Cartoon

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This fake Zapiro cartoon is based on a similar one featuring George Bush in 2002.  Even when fake, Zapiro is amazing… forgive me, Zapiro:) I post this in support of my promise to the Knysna ANC in ‘Are Politicians Allowed to Disobey Knysna’s Laws’ – don’t degrade Main Street and insult our heritage buildings. The law applies to all but should apply more strongly to our politicians. Stephen de Vries (ANC Chief Whip) and Ralph Stander (Provincial  Committee), please show respect for Knysna. Here’s a real one by Zapiro that … Read the full article…

The ANC responds to Eleanore Bouw-Spies queries

Mike Hampton Posted on by

No councillor should be free of scrutiny. They are human. They will make mistakes. They are allowed to. But after doing so they need to own them and make up for them. A politician without a mistake is a liar. My goal is to find the truth… and discover whether they have sufficient strength to lead us. Regards Eleanore Bouw-Spies, Knysna’s ex-ANC Mayor who is now the DA candidate for the Ward 5 by-election to be held on July 2 2014, there hasn’t been a single question posed to her … Read the full article…
