2023 Report on International Religious Freedom: Washington delves into the unresolved case of vandalism at the cathedral

by V. Moonien

Two years have elapsed, and the Seychelles Police Force (SPF) is still struggling to identify suspects in the cases of vandalism against the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. “As of year’s end, authorities continued to investigate the 2022 vandalism at the Catholic Cathedral in Victoria,” underscores the United States Department of State in its Report on International Religious Freedom for 2023, released on Wednesday. Without going into the details of previous acts of vandalism against churches across Mahé, it points out that the Chargé d’affaires of the U.S. Embassy met the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, Mgr. Alain Harel, as well as the Seychelles Interfaith Council (SIFCO) eight months ago, whereby this topic has been discussed.

National Day Parade: Authorities “very satisfied” with final preparations

by J. Marie & D. Dufresne

Designated Minister Jean-François Ferrari, who chairs the National Day Celebrations Committee, stated yesterday that he was “very satisfied” with the turnout for the final preparations. This contrasts with his original statement made during the first preparations last week, when he commented that the preparations were “nearly there.” He further commented that the timing of the helicopters and aeroplanes, which will be flying over the parade while bearing a flag, was also satisfactory and that, for now, all seems well. The only issue still bothering the Designated Minister is the weather for the National Day Parade. According to the Seychelles Meteorological Authority (SMA), there will be showers in Victoria.

Seychelles-La Réunion route: Air Seychelles and Air Austral introduce integrated travel solution

compiled article

Air Seychelles and Air Austral have collaborated to enhance travel connectivity between Seychelles and La Réunion through a newly established SPA agreement. Effective immediately, this partnership allows travellers to book seamless journeys on a single ticket between the two islands. The collaboration follows Air Austral’s decision to discontinue its direct route between Seychelles and La Réunion, prompting discussions with Air Seychelles to ensure continued service. As a result, the airlines have introduced an interline agreement termed the ‘Special Prorate Agreement’ (SPA), facilitating travel via Mauritius and providing passengers with more flexible and cost-effective travel options.

Thomas Alexis was the rock and pillar of strength for his family

by F. J. Cetoupe & D. Dufresne

“I remembered that on Saturday morning in the 1980s, there was this 8.30 am request programme, and Thomas Alexis’ ‘Manman mon Manman’ was a song which featured every week without fail. The song somehow gained popularity, especially amongst my National Youth Service colleagues. We would sing along with the radio,” shared Marie Jeanne Jacques when she heard of the singer’s passing away on Saturday morning. Like Mrs. Jacques, many of us will forever remember Mr. Thomas Alexis through that song and his unique voice. Today met with Mr. Alexis’ family to learn more about the man behind that most famous song. Mrs. Josepha Lepere, one of Mr. Alexis’ daughters, lovingly spoke about him on behalf of her brothers and sisters. “He was our everything and the one we always looked up to. He was a man of principles, and his family mattered to him. We knew and understood that we meant the world to him, and he always went out of his way to make us happy. His way of doing that was not by indulging us in extravagant ways but through simple gestures. I guess it made him happy when he saw us happy. If there is one thing he taught us that one does not have to have a lot of money to be satisfied.

International Body Piercing Day: Tonnes of options for enhancing your life

by F. J. Cetoupe

All it takes is for you to make up your mind, get a little daring, and finally get that body piercing you’ve always dreamed about. One quick poke and you’re on your way to the hippest fashion statement, which is becoming increasingly popular. June 28 is International Body Piercing Day, and the day serves as a recognition of the practice of body piercing and modification, as well as a platform to celebrate the artistry and self-expression of this art. It also promotes education and awareness of the culture and safety standards that should be practised with body piercing. Throughout the world, body modification has been used for many purposes, from self-expression to rites of passage, shock value, and even religious observances. There has been a growing movement in the Western world, driving body modification to the forefront of popular forms of expression and self-decoration. The history of body piercing isn’t clear, as there is much misleading information. However, there are significant indicators that men and women have practised it since prehistory. Body Piercing Day allows you to find a new way to express yourself with this age-old practice.

No closure in Marvin Asba’s case, seven years down the line…

by A. Selwano

Marvin was last seen on June 29, 2017, seven years ago, and to this day, there has been no clue about his disappearance or whereabouts. Although investigations were launched at that time with international intel coming into the country, no results were found then, and no conclusive evidence has surfaced until now. It is hard to believe that someone can disappear without a trace in our small paradise, but it has happened. Marvin’s disappearance remains a mystery for his parents and the majority of the country. I say the majority because Marvin’s parents believe that some people must know what happened to their son. As I sat with Marvin’s parents, Marie-Claire and David, I could still see the same desperation in their eyes that I saw seven years ago. Back then, it was a desperate cry to find their son; now, it is a desperate cry for answers, half-heartedly accepting that they might not see him again.

Patriotism can help create a sense of national identity

by F. J. Cetoupe

On June 29th, 1976, Seychelles bid farewell to colonisation by the British Empire. Seventy-five years old, Vianny Hoareau still has a vivid recollection of that day. “I was 27 years old then. I remember this air of excitement, but at the same time, people were anxious about the move. Some were unsure as to whether we would be able to manage on our own. There was much talk about independence and its implications. At Gordon Square that day, I could almost still hear people cheering when the British flag went down and our flag was hoisted. My friends and I stood and watched with emotion. Doris Jeanne shares, “Ever since our independence, we have heard much talk about patriotism and being patriotic. I would honestly say with all sincerity that most of us still take pride in our country and our identity as Seychellois. Wherever we are in the world, we never fail to talk about Seychelles, the culture, the beaches, etc., which is a true reflection of our patriotism. However, I would press on the need to educate the younger generations, as they seem to appreciate Western nations more than ours. Frankly, this is something that preoccupies me a lot. Additionally, I feel that we talk a lot about patriotism but fail to fully recognise what the word truly means and what it entails. We need to sit and deeply reflect on what it means to be patriotic.”

Work on Stad Linite progressing

by S.N.

The renovation works at Stad Linite are making significant progress, particularly with the installation of the new running track. The project, which commenced recently, has seen the arrival of experts in Seychelles. The levelling of the track is currently underway, and a noticeable change is the new blue colour of the track, a departure from the traditional reddish hue. Renovation works at Stad Linite have been needed for a while, with many sports affected, especially football, where the country cannot play any international matches at the stadium due to it not meeting the required standards set by FIFA. This has forced the Seychelles national team to play their home games away from Seychelles. At the same time, work continues to bring the stadium up to the necessary standard.

Ziad Mekdachi: Honouring a champion's 20 years of bodybuilding

by F. J. Cetoupe

“I know I have lost my bodybuilding career. I won a life and a beautiful family,” wrote Ziad Mekdachi on his page two days ago. That was Ziad’s way of gracefully exiting a sport he loved and was passionate about. The Lebanese-born bodybuilder, now a Seychellois, shares that he did so as a kickboxer when he started engaging in a sporting activity. “I was a champion in kickboxing. I never dreamt of becoming a bodybuilder; it was more haphazard things. It so happened that during one of my training sessions, my coach advised that I start doing some bodybuilding to increase my weight. At that time, I was weighing 60 kg, so I needed to put on extra weight. In doing so, I discovered that I was starting to love bodybuilding more than kickboxing. Hence, I decided to put kickboxing on the side and concentrate on bodybuilding.”

Stevedores speak out against inadequate salaries

by J. Marie & D. Dufresne

Several stevedores have claimed that since the country reopened after the COVID-19 lockdown, they have not received their usual contracts for the work they performed. Additionally, they feel that the compensation they receive per tonnage does not reflect the amount of work they carry out. Mr. Randy Azemia, a representative of the stevedores, explained that they were expected to receive their compensation on Saturday, the 15th. The stevedores received payment from three companies: Ile Du Port Handling Services (IPHS), Sapmer, and Hunt Deltel & Co. He further clarified that their salaries are calculated at 4.5% of the work they provide annually. However, there is a threshold of SCR 40,000, which an average worker should be able to earn. Despite this, he expressed frustration that the highest amount an individual was paid last year was only SCR 19,000.

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM), part of the United Nations, with the support of the Southern African Migration Management Project (SAMM), is assisting Seychelles and Eswatini in strengthening relationships through the exchange mission.

Mrs. Dalida Mathiot devoted more than 45 years to teaching special needs students

by F. J. Cetoupe

by F. J. Cetoupe “ Different is not necessarily being less,” a saying that reminds us that students with special needs have unique strengths and abilities and should be valued and celebrated for who they are. This is precisely what came to mind as I sat with Mrs. Dalida Mathiot and listened to her talk about her 45+ years’ journey working with children with special needs. As everybody addresses her, Miss Dalida tells how she ended up in the job. “I had just completed my Form 2 exams and was waiting for my results. At that time, one had to wait for the outcome of the results to know whether you could proceed to Form 3 or not. A friend of mine, Angelina Kate, shared that she had learned about a new school that was to open soon, and she suggested that we go and look for more information. Honestly, we had no idea what the mandate of the new school was, but to us, this was like our backup plan if we did not succeed in Form 3.”

Protecting our feathered friends: Seabird monitoring on Cousin Island

by Nature Seychelles

It is noddy breeding season on Cousin Island Special Reserve, and thousands of nesting Lesser and Brown Noddys have flocked to the island. The seabirds can be seen and heard all over the island, engaging in courtship, nesting on trees and rocky cliffs, and hovering and dipping into the ocean to catch prey. Cousin is an Important Bird Area (IBA). It is globally recognised as significant for the conservation of Seychelles’ endemic and native land birds and as a key roosting site for large seabird colonies. It is home to seven nesting seabird species: Lesser and Brown Noddys, Wedge-tailed and Tropical Shearwaters, White and Bridled Terns, and White-tailed Tropicbirds.

Celebrating human resilience and achievement on Helen Keller Day

by F. J. Cetoupe

Helen Keller Day is commemorated on June 27. It is the day that people worldwide recognise and celebrate the life and achievements of Helen Keller, a woman who overcame blindness and deafness and became famous. Additionally, on that day, we are all reminded to celebrate human grit and hard work, promoting the idea that people can overcome challenges and achieve anything they want if they put their hearts and souls into it. Helen Keller Day reminds us that anything is possible if we work hard for it. Keller had everything going against her, and many doubted that someone like her could rise to the level that she did. Instead, she exceeded those expectations and inspired the world. On March 23, 1960, Mayor Leo Carlin of New Jersey first proclaimed that Helen Keller Day should be observed annually. On June 7, the mayor of Annapolis, Maryland, followed suit. And finally, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed on June 19 of the same year to honour Helen Keller and her life achievements.
