Seychelles' authorities are set to install 22 CCTV cameras next year in the Anse Royale district in the south of Mahe, the main island, to help the police better tackle crimes committed in the area. The cameras are the result of the district’s member in the National Assembly, Sylvianne Lemiel’s, project—which she started with the Seychelles Police Force in 2018—in a bid to curb illegal activities, such as vandalism at Anse Royale. Lemiel approached the Chinese Embassy in Seychelles to ask for a donation to purchase the cameras. The Seychelles Police Force, for its part, is also encouraging other districts in the country to implement similar surveillance projects to help curb crime. “We have experienced many robberies and we at the Anse Royale district have deemed it important to ensure our inhabitants, businesses and visitors’ safety,” Lemiel explained to the press during the official handing over ceremony of the equipment recently.

The Chinese Embassy in Seychelles donated SCR 100,000 (US$ 7,224), and the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs contributed a little over SCR 52,000 (US$ 3,756) to purchase the 22 surveillance cameras at a total cost of SCR 159,000 (US$ 11,486). “The installing of the CCTV cameras is a necessary step to strengthen neighbourhood watch, deter the offenders and support efforts of the police to provide better service and protection during these emergency cases which may arise,” said the Chinese Ambassador to Seychelles, Lin Nan.
