Last week Captain Nicole Chang-Leng and First Officer Mrs. Lishad Matharu, with an all female crew, took a Boeing 767 all the way to Mauritius and back without a hitch. It was all smiles for the girls and their close relatives, deservedly so as they have worked hard and made lots of sacrifices over the years - Captain, First Officer, CSO and Cabin Crew included. The return leg of the flight made an on schedule touch down at Point Larue International at 12.20pm, amidst jubilant celebrations by the 242 passenger onboard, airport and airline staff at the airport. The crew and passengers were given a water canon salute by the Seychelles Fire Brigade Services as the plane taxied towards the terminal building. On behalf of our readers and all in
There is one lady who is extra proud and excited about the achievement of the Air Seychelles ladies. Aunty Vevette, over that momentous weekend, has been doing some serious thinking - long and hard - about her political comeback. The Air Seychelles ladies have presented her with the perfect opportunity and Aunty Vevette has decided to form an all-female political party. She will assume the presidency of the party, of course, like her former chief. Ms Nicole Chang-Leng will be her presidential candidate in the next election with Mrs Lishad Matharu as running mate – this team will be hard to beat Aunty Vevette told friends over dinner last Sunday. It is believed that Mrs Brenda Esparon will occupy the post of Designated Minister with the finance portfolio; the lady demonstrated her leadership skills and she looked good on camera, a pleasure to look at…..
Jacqueline Andrews is a very straight person known for her charm and politeness - she can only be a valuable asset at Maison Queau de Quinssy at Mont Fleuri as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nathalie Berlouis, it is believed, wanted to be a nurse when she was only a tinkle in her parents’ eyes. She will get the job of her dreams, she owes no favour, and Aunty Vevette will make her the Minister in charge of our health. Beautiful Fiona Louise is a girl who is going places according to her friends, but Aunty Vevette wants her right here looking after the local bad boys; she will be given the Ministry of Internal Affairs to head. Hard working Nella Samsom possesses the gift of the gab; she will take over at the Ministry of Investment, Industries & Technology, and she is a straight talker not a muffler. Sonia Isaac is a lady with her feet firmly on the ground; it is thought Auntie Vevette will accord the Ministry of Land Use & Habitat to our Sonia. Juliette Lajoie has always championed the cause of the Earth; she will be made Minister for Environment, Natural Resources & Transport, a welcome replacement for the funny man, Mr. Bean. Lena Vidot, it is said, is adamant on taking over at the Ministry of Education; it is thought Aunty Vevette will oblige. Last, but by no means least, Minister Joanne Auguste of Employment and Human Resources Development; she is a lady with the ability to think on her feet – she does not need to read from a script; she knows her subject matter.
Aunty Vevette is said to be over the moon with her team of talented ladies. All week she has been grinning and boasting to all who cared to listen that her team cannot do worst than the present lot at State House. We are going to show these skirts wearing bunch running our country how it should be done, she is known to have said to her sons. “Last year I won the presidency for Jj, I got the women to do it for them, now we need to do it for us, girl power!” Aunty Vevette declared.
Editor’s note: Good luck I am sure they will do a better job than the present ‘Ali Babas’, especially under the leadership of our very own Iron Lady.
