10 reasons why I’m deleting Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m closing my Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter on 31 January 2021 for the following 10 reasons: We’ve become products. I’m against digital human trafficking. Targeted marketing kills the natural human instinct to explore. Targeted posts should never aim at the worst in people. Sharing our data is sharing our lives. No one would have said “yes” at the start. Social media apps purposely target addiction; human frailty that should be overcome not encouraged. These MegaApps have grown stupidity and vanity at the expense of creativity and intelligence. I’m sick of … Read the full article…

DA Federal Legal Commission will “investigate” Helen Zille

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Democratic Alliance will investigate Federal Chair Helen Zille. This follows her controversial apartheid tweets. It’s ridiculous that Spokesperson Solly Malatsi is stating that the DA will “investigate”, and that he doesn’t know how long it’ll take – it’s a fucking tweet. Read it, read the complaints, compare that to Zille’s past behaviour, she responds, DA makes a decision – done in a week. What the hell is wrong with these people? Wait, don’t answer. That will take longer than a week! Of course, they’re still not investigating her for … Read the full article…

Zille tweets herself apart(heid)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

On Tuesday, 23 June, Helen Zille, Chair of the Democratic Council, and a leader of liberalism in Africa, gave credit to FW de Clerk for dismantling Apartheid, and discredited the ANC’s role. Although that could be open to debate, she experienced outrage when she stated that, “LOL [laugh out loud], there are more racist laws today than there were under apartheid.”  The division between whites and blacks in the DA was again highlighted when Mbali Ntuli, who is contesting for the party’s leadership position, responded to Zille’s critics with: “I … Read the full article…

DA Hypocrisy Dishes Helen Zille Disciplinary Charges

Mike Hampton Posted on by

DA Federal Chairperson James Selfe has confirmed that Helen Zille has been charged for her tweets over colonialism. He said that the process could take months as Zille was a busy person and that she could appeal any possible decision against her. The tweets included: “For those claiming legacy of colonialism was ONLY negative‚ think of our independent judiciary‚ transport infrastructure‚ piped water‚ etc.” “Would we have had a transition into specialised healthcare and medication without colonial influence? Just be honest‚ please.” The tweets and DA Mmusi Maimane’s subsequent complaint … Read the full article…

@KnysnaMuni Bans Me on Twitter

Mike Hampton Posted on by

@KnysnaMuni: Evil communication despises public service. You forget your place as an employee of the public. Knysna Municipality has unconstitutionally and unreasonably banned me from their Twitter page. This despite me hardly ever being there and having had no disagreement. It’s political pettiness. And, in light of the current, much publicised, scandal and conflict within our local government, it’s another stupid move. Communication should never be stupid! In charge of said stupidity is Communications Manager Christopher Bezuidenhout. Apparently, he’s acting simultaneously as Mayor Eleanore Bouw-Spies’ secretary. He will not tell … Read the full article…

Helen Zille's Twitty Twars (Twitter Wars)

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Hard Shout with Helen Zille by ZANEWS This video is a lovely mockery that may push Helen Zille’s Twitter wars (twars) into a place of context and understanding for those who don’t know what the hell Twitter is. Despite my distrust of God-Zille for failing transparency and austerity, i’ve often admired her tweets because i’d rather a leader back themselves up than be meaninglessly, politically correct. This time, however, she went over the top and gave us another glimpse of her slipping profile. Daily Maverick: “This past Sunday, Helen Zille, … Read the full article…
