Dear Sir/Madam
We would like to draw your attention that one of the Landscaping Management staff is indirectly associated with Nature Landscaping and he is occupying a high position in that department.
He is involved in the tender, his opinion will influence the decision that Nature Landscaping will get the tender at the Airport because that gentleman is a close family to him and he was involved into this type of work at the Airport previously. We do not know why the contract has stop.
We would like to point out that this is not the first time that he is involved in such activities. He uses the government’s resources for his personal Landscaping activities, such as plants, workers, transports, equipments etc…. for his interest.
This is corruption! We intend to remove all these type of virus in the government. There are whispers outside regarding Tenders from that Department and his activities.
We are waiting & watching very closely the outcome of the Airport Tender.
Thanking you chairperson, for your attention on this serious matter.

Dear Sir – I was born in 1971. I was just six when the coup d’etat took place. In the following sixteen years, I lived under a socialist regime under the one-party state. I come from a poor family my mother is working as a domestic worker, formerly she was earning working for government, she is the only breadwinner in her house. She said that while she had known poverty throughout her life, it has never been as bad as the last fifteen years.
Her economic difficulties are not unique. Today in
In the World Bank paper, the basic poverty line was defined as the ability of a household to spend R900 per month in 1992 prices, while the absolute poverty line was R500 per household per month in 1992 prices. The basic poverty line was based on the cost of a market basket of food, clothing and shelter while the absolute poverty line was based on the cost of starchy staples and shelter.
Between 1999 and 2000, our own government statisticians conducted a household survey on sample households representing the different income levels. In their report, they raised the threshold of the poverty line to R841 per person based on prices in 2000. People like my mum therefore needed to be able to spend R4205 to survive just above the poverty line. In other words, even when she was earning a salary working for the Government, she was always living below the poverty line according to the government statisticians’ own yardstick. Since then prices have more than doubled. I am so sad that I cannot help my mum financially because I have a family of my own to feed. Jj spirit never again for my family.
Thanking you for the space.

Ser Editer,
Akord nou en pti plas dan ou zournal pou nou kapab fer pep Seselwa konnen ki pe arive avek zot fanmiy ki pe rimann dan prison montanny poze. Premyerman rimann pa ganny akse avek soley, bann keksoz ki pe arive dan pei nou pa konn ditou akoz akse avek media (tv/radio) nou pa gannyen. Nou pe reste 24 er anba lalimyer parey pti poul. Rimann I ganny detake 9er bomaten e nou reganny take 3er apre midi zis apre dinnen ki donnen ant 2.15 a 2.30 apremidi. Apre sa si ou bezwen al lasel zot dir ou fer dan en touk ki prison I donnen e ou bezwen siport sa loder ziska granmaten. Si ou proteste oubyen ou sey rod ou draw ou ganny bate e ganny take dan en kaso nwanr. Manze zour an zour I vin pli deplorab, bouton bred 5 fwa par semen e konman legim zis pousinika.
La plipar letan nou pe manz zis ton disel. Dan bomaten nou ganny en lanmok dite ki fer relase ek en bout dipen ron avek en pti gin magarin ladan. Si ou fanmiy i anmenn konfitir oubyen peanut butter zot refize pou pran. Zot enpoz lalwa kondannen lo rimann e bann draw ki rimann I sipoze annan pa pe ganny respekte. I annan en laboutik kot prison e pa touletan ki keksoz neseser I annan ladan e souvann fwa pri lo sa bann komodite I egzorbitan, anplis ki sa ou fanmiy napa draw aste okenn lartik andeor. Vizit I ganny fer enn fwa par semenn e rimann pa ganny akse fizik ek son fanmiy akoz sa visit I derol lo telefonn dan en pti kare. I paret ki lotorite prizon I par la lao lalwa akoz lord ki pa ziz dan lakour Sesel I ordonnen, e souvann fwa ou ganny dir ki pa ziz ki ansarz prizon.
Sa prizon I ranpli avek bokou kalite problenm. Dimoun avek tou sort kalite maladi e menm bann ki atrape zot osi zot dan menm prizon. Souvann fwa rimann I vwar zot pe bezwen rod lasitans ou latansyon medikal. Dokter I mont dan prizon tou le Mardi pou apepre 2er tan edmi e dan sa anviron 300 dimoun ki annan dan prizon zis 15 a 20 dimoun ki ganny lasistans e priyorite I pou bann kondannem. Tou le Vandredi I annan per ki sorti kot legliz Katolik ki monte pou fer lanmes e souvann fwa bann I ganny defann pou asiste sa servis. Menm dan kaptivite ou pa kapab egzers ou lafwa.
Viktimizasyon dan prizon I tro bokou e in plis ki ler pou Nasyon Zini enterfer akoz draw imen pa pe ganny respekte. La plipar bann rimann I bann per nourisye avek plis ki en zanfan e sosyal pa pe fer nanryen pou asiste zot fanmiy. I annan osi bann papa kip e rimann pour plis ki 6 mwan e bokou bann fanmiy pe soufer. Konbyen bann pti trezor pe soufer? Lotorite pa pep ran en ka e sel keksoz ki paret enteres zot se ranpli prizon avek rimann. Gouvernman in toultan koz lo fanmiy solid e pres bann valer moral, me ler ou regard zot aksyon I fer lapenn pou vwar ki mannyer zot bann zoli parol napa valer. Se zot menm kip e diviz bokou fanmiy e pe fer bokou bann pti trezor soufer.
Prizon Montanny Poze I sipoze en sant pou realibitasyon e reform, me la fason ki I pe fonksyonnen I pe fer dimoun vin pli rebel e viv avek bann progranm e koumsa petet zot ava kapab ede dan reabilitasyon e reform rimann ou kondannen.
An atanda nou pe sipliy lotorite Sesel pou get pli profon dan problenm rimann, donn nou, nou bann draw. Pa bezwen abiz lo nou. Ziska prezan nou ankor pe annan pasyans e toler zot bann labi. Me tou payans I annan son limit.
Mersi pou pibliy nou let e fotespere nou mesaz e lapel I ganny pran oserye par lotorite konsernen.
Bann Rimann Montanny Poze.
