Download: Evidence in the Public interest

Will President Cyril Ramaphosa do the right thing? So far, that’s a big NO according to Robert Ngobeni-Hlongwane (Presidency) and Bulelwa Makeke (NPA Head of Communications). Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Presidential Hotline Director Melisizwe Bleki, IPID Head Investigations Mathews Sesoko, General Godfrey Lebeya and Minister Bheki Cele and many others have also failed to act. The DA is protected. It’s Ramaphosa‘s government so he, most of all, must be blamed for the corruption. He may as well wear blue next election. Bad people may take me down but don’t have … Read the full article…

Will Minister Police or Hawks General help Mike Hampton?

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Attention SAPS Minister Bheki Cele & Hawks Chief Lt. Gen. Advocate Godfrey Lebeya  [as sent on Wed, 13 Mar 2019 16:55] I will go to jail if you do not help me stop the corrupt DA politicians I’ve exposed. I previously contacted you both, Minister Bheki Cele (SAPS) and Lt. General Godfrey Lebeya (Hawks), after the Public Protector and Presidency failed in their duty. I asked you for help which never happened. The General did order the Western Cape Hawks to meet me in Durban but they whitewashed my complaint … Read the full article…

Fraud: The ‘Psychologist’ & Men With Guns

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Herman van Niekerk and Retha van Niekerk – who are they really? Figuring that out made this one of the more interesting and shocking cases of fraud. An anonymous Knysna whistleblower’s family allegedly under siege – computer hacked, electronically threatened with death, and physically stalked. That’s what one of their 4 bodyguards said. Considering the possible danger to them, this writer held back on this story for 9 months, hoping the authorities would step in to deliver justice (instead, they’ve failed in many ways). But with more people contacting me, … Read the full article…

I Expect More Than This From the Police

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I expect more from the police. Last year, this was a comment about me by a Captain in our Knysna SAPS on a page run by a DA politician: “Poor man, must be a very lonely person. If only the people of Knysna would stop enabling him, he will have to pack his bags and go! Hopefully to a place far from here.” It’s an inappropriate response to me, an activist, fighting corruption. It’s no surprise that the comment was liked by a municipal employee who robbed our town, two … Read the full article…

Beginner’s Guide: Democratic Alliance corruption

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is the Beginner’s Guide to Democratic Alliance Corruption that’s drowning Knysna and sending a tsunami towards politicians in Cape Town. An interested and concerned citizen took me for coffee to basically tell me that I’m all over the place, making it hard for him to see the bigger picture. I’ll admit, new readers, who haven’t travelled the past 6 years of my activism, may be confused by the more than 918,000 words on this website. In short, I exposed widespread corruption in the Democratic Alliance municipality of Knysna. I … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

How the cops locked me up for trying to stop police brutality and then carried out an even more vicious beating in front of me. Late on Sunday night (3 January), I happened upon an arrest taking place in a street close to my home in Observatory, Cape Town. The arrestee was pinned to the asphalt by two officers who were trying to cuff his hands behind his back, but he appeared to be offering some resistance. As I watched, they attempted to force him to comply by punching him … Read the full article…
