Breaking News: MEC Bredell’s corruption letter to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This corruption letter will slap more than Knysna to attention. Desperate to hang onto power, the leadership of the Democratic Alliance has been leopard crawling through the fynbos and ostrich droppings in our Garden Route towns. There are forces afoot, so this letter cannot be considered an honest step towards accountability by the Western Cape Government (WC). But it is interesting. WHAT’S IN THE LETTER? The letter was sent by MEC Local Government Anton Bredell to Knysna Speaker Titi Gombo (ANC). The many corruption and maladministration issues within appear to … Read the full article…

This is the report that COGTA Chair Faith Muthambi wanted on Knysna

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’ve got the reports that COGTA Chair Faith Muthambi wanted from the Western Cape Government and MEC Anton Bredell, regarding their (failed) oversight of Knysna. “Knysna Municipality is at a tipping point which could adversely affect the future of the Municipality and its community. According to officials, the organisational culture is characterised by distrust, dishonesty, conflict, political interference, instability, and toxic working relationships.” Knysna is a town in never-ending political scandal, and again in financial trouble. Corruption hasn’t been punished for at least nine years. New Mayor Elrick van Aswegen … Read the full article…

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…

Corruption in the Office of the Public Protector

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Office of the Public Protector (OPP) has been protecting the corruption of the Democratic Alliance. This is one of the four most important publications I’ve made in nine years of activism. The others are my affidavit to the Hawks, my submission to NCOP and my book, ‘Same Shit Different Government’. It’s my firm belief that Senior Investigator Gideon Landman, George Branch Manager of the OPP, should be in jail. His boss, Western Cape Manager Sune Griessels, and his ex-colleague Bruce Wessels, deserve investigation too. So does Ruthven Janse van … Read the full article…

Hawks Part 3: Cops avoiding investigating DA

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Head of the Hawks (DPCI), Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya, never responded to my initial complaint but Colonel Piet Bergh was ordered to meet me. Bergh is the chief analyst for the Western Cape Hawks, head of the Priority Crime Management Centre. That meeting took place in Durban on 19 September 2018. Captain Philip van Dyk, also from Cape Town, was in attendance. I was told that they would speak more freely if I never recorded. I will never go off-record again! In addition to affidavits and evidence, I gave copies … Read the full article…

Hawks Part 1: Affidavits against Democratic Alliance corruption

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m Mike Hampton, an anti-corruption activist from the Western Cape. I’m currently in exile from my home town owing to fear for my safety. This is my main affidavit to the Hawks (DPCI: Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation). It’s against the Democratic Alliance (DA), Western Cape Government, Knysna Municipality, Office of the Public Protector, private companies Knysna Tourism and Maritime Risk Solutions, and others. My evidence implicates many people, including Helen Zille, Premier Candidate Alan Winde and MEC Local Government Anton Bredell, Garden Route Speaker Eleanore Spies, Fire Chief Clinton … Read the full article…

Petition: We want Mmusi Maimane as WC Premier

Mike Hampton Posted on by

SIGN THE PETITION Why this is important! The Western Cape is in crisis. It’s been dragged down by maladministration and corruption. The Democratic Alliance (DA) is paralysed, unable to overcome faction fighting. It lies and lies to the Public. It cover-ups crime. It’s arrogance has gotten out of control. The DA is guaranteed to bleed votes in the election next year but we must accept that they will remain a large power in the Western Cape. Our choice is to either support Mmusi Maimane in rocking the DA’s applecart or … Read the full article…

Helen Zille responds, refuses to meet me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m disappointed to tell you that Helen Zille has refused to meet me to discuss the corruption I’ve reported to her and others under her. You can read the letter below. It’s notable that my previous letter to Helen listed corruption which she has avoided in her response, except to say that her and her colleagues deny involvement. That means that Helen never answered my clear question preceding that, “Do you (and Bredell, Winde & Strydom) state, unequivocally, that you are unaware of the many issues I’ve presented you (I … Read the full article…
