Apologies - Activist Mike Hampton must work in cave for September

I’m not taking on new cases or posting adverts for one month. My phone is turned off. Emails will not be read. My apologies for my rudeness but during that period my goal is to turn 6 year’s of activism and evidence into one major document for Court reference. That will be akin to writing a novel i.e. BIG TASK. Parliament and the SAPS haven’t protected me so I must do what I can to protect myself and our town.

50 Bell Pottinger Shades of Democratic Alliance

The Democratic Alliance is the Bell Pottinger of the Western Cape. There’s no true vetting of candidate councillors despite that having been a statement of theirs. Councillor Martin Young is dirty proof, implicating Helen Zille by her allowing him into office whilst she possessed evidence of his dark deeds.
