Mike Hampton Posted on by

Why are we selling weapons that will kill people we don’t know? DENEL, OUR WEAPON’S MANUFACTURING EMPLOYEE Denel belongs to the Government of South Africa. The Government works for us. We own Denel. But Denel’s refusing to reveal whose paying R6.3-billion for its death devices? Denel’s website description on search engines is: “Global Supplier of World-Class Defence Products and Solutions.” If it were for defence, there’d be no secrecy. IMAGINE IF YOU WERE BEING BOMBED Denel’s latest long-range artillery is accurate at 76km. Can you imagine living in Hout Bay … Read the full article…

Ideology, idiocracy, politicians, you and me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Today, I blame Syria for making me vomit ideology, media, politicians and the common human. All the wrongdoings of Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad don’t make him part of this metaphor. Instead, that’s reserved for Russia and the USA… from my South African view. Note that my mind is constantly at war with ideas. When some battles last too long, distracting me from what I should be doing most, I diarise them. They’re my unedited moment, forgotten or later disinterred for reflection. This blog is one of those moments. HYPOCRITICAL MISSILES … Read the full article…

ANC’s Baleka Mbete betrayed South Africa, disgraced herself

Mike Hampton Posted on by

According to Baleka Mbete, the ANC doesn’t have to accept responsibility for South Africa having one of the worst murder rates in the world because colonialists brought crime. This woman was previously Deputy President. As Speaker of Parliament, she was paid an annual salary of R2.7-million to protect us – instead, it feels as if she robbed us. It’s an important interview symbolically demonstrating the callousness of politics. Her many terrible responses to questions from Al Jazeera vivdly painted our Government’s indifference to us citizens. Imagine Jacob Zuma’s horrendous laugh … Read the full article…

Mini Budget Speech, Massive Doom & Gloom

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Minister Finance Tito Mboweni is to be credited for delivering overdue honesty regarding the state of South Africa’s economy. He did so during the medium term budget speech, what some call the mini-budget. It’s also good news that the National Prosecuting Authority’s budget is going to radically increase. But positivity dies there, overwhelmed by a storm we have little chance of clearing. BUDGET INTENTIONS The intended unbundling of Eskom, and SAA  partnership with private companies, will be stopped by unions. The R59-billion Eskom bailout Eskom just received is harsh fact … Read the full article…

Violence vs hollow political words

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m sick of people saying that South Africa’s got a great Constitution and a functioning judiciary, as if that erases the corruption and violence eating us alive. If you were faced with a murdered 6-year-old girl, lying with her panties pulled down in a pool of her own blood, would you smile at her parents and say that at least she died in a pretty dress? … Read the full article…
