The Seychelles Pension Fund (SPF) officially laid the first brick for the construction of the new Pirates Arms Complex in the centre of the capital of Victoria on Tuesday. President Wavel Ramkalawan together with the chairperson of the SPF, Shella Mohideen, and the chief executive of the SPF, Nisreen Abdul Majid, each laid a brick in commemoration of the start of the construction, which is expected to be completed by October 2026. The high cost of maintenance of the old Pirate Arms building, which was a landmark in the centre of Victoria on Independence Avenue, resulted in it being torn down and will be replaced by the Pirates Arms complex. In his address, Ramkalawan said, «I want us to move forward, and after looking at the concept and plan on what we are building here, I hope it is a place that brings new hope where everyone can come together. Since Pirates Arms was demolished, there has not been anywhere in Victoria that has been the same, somewhere you could describe as the heart of Victoria. I hope the Pension Fund and the people working on this project can give Victoria its heart back.» President Wavel Ramkalawan laid a brick in commemoration of the start of the construction. (Seychelles News Agency) Photo License: CC-BY Meanwhile, Majid, said, «According to the late historian Tony Mathiot, where we stand today was a reclaimed site of the Long Pier where the first modern tourist establishment which was, a large timber building was opened in 1928 named the Raffles Hotel. Consequently, the timber building was demolished and replaced by a new one. It opened on Saturday, January 12, 1938 under the name of Empire Hotel. In the early 1950's, Empire Hotel became the Pirates Arms. The building was renovated many times during the decades and was finally acquired by the Seychelles Pension Fund in 2006.» The Pirates Arms building was well known among locals and visitors for its restaurant serving popular Creole dishes with renowned local artists also entertaining them. It also had an array of shops and offices. For over 60 years the establishment was the rendezvous point for many and a place to hang out with friends in the heart of Victoria The old building was demolished in 2016 and now eight years later, reconstruction will start after a long journey that included re-drawing of plans and legal battles. To note work on the site had originally begun in late 2017 but stopped after the Planning Authority issued a stop notice in January 2018 because the heavy works were causing the annex building of the Central Bank of Seychelles to tilt. The head of projects at the SPF, Vincent Adam said, «Any issues and concerns that arose in the past have been resolved, and now we are moving forward. These include the piling issue that caused issues for a neighbouring building. The case has been sorted out.» According to the plans, the new complex will have five floors and a basement parking area. The development will include two signature restaurants, three additional food outlets, a food court, diverse retail spaces, conference facilities, a gym, a beauty salon, a barbershop, and a 47-room business hotel. The ground floor will retain the iconic Pirates Arms Restaurant, maintaining its original location and design as a tribute to its historic roots. Adam confirmed that the original tenants were given the right of first refusal and that most of them have indicated their wish to return. «The new building will provide opportunities for individuals and businesses to unlock their potential, for ideas to flourish, and for our community to strengthen and expand. This building will reflect our commitment to excellence, to inclusivity, and to creating opportunities for all who step inside. Hopefully, the new hotel that is planned on the 3rd and 4th floors of the new building will bring back some memories of its past glory,» said Majid.
Navin Ramgoolam, set for a third stint as prime minister of Mauritius after a landslide election victory, is a veteran politician who has been dogged by controversy in the past. The 77-year-old -- who boasts a political career spanning more than three decades -- is a member of one of the dynasties that have dominated the leadership of Mauritius since it gained independence from Britain in 1968. His father Seewoosagur Ramgoolam led Mauritius to independence and is regarded as the founding father of the Indian Ocean island nation, serving as the first head of government until 1982. Navin Ramgoolam is the longtime leader of the Labour Party and has served twice before as prime minister, between 1995 and 2000 and again from 2005 to 2014. The decisive legislative election win for the Labour-led Alliance of Change will put him back at the helm after 10 years out in the political wilderness. «Navin Ramgoolam's comeback is much more than a political victory: it is a lesson in perseverance and resilience,» said an editorial in L'Express, one of the main newspapers in Mauritius. «He returns to bring together, to mend a fractured country. On this island torn between economic crises and political divisions, he wants to be the unifier.» During the campaign, Ramgoolam charged that Mauritius, regarded as one of the most stable and wealthiest democracies in Africa, had been taken over by a group of «mafiosi». «They act as if Mauritius belonged to them and interfere in institutions,» he said. His promises of change resonated with an electorate concerned about political and economic stability, with many facing a cost-of-living crisis. «The priority of a possible Alliance of Change government is the restoration of democracy, the revival of the economy, the reduction in the cost of living, the fight against drugs,» he said during the campaign. Ramgoolam started out in medicine, qualifying as a doctor in the 1970s and working in Ireland and Britain as well as his home country. During that time, in 1978, he was arrested for drunk driving, pleaded guilty and was fined, according to UK Foreign Office documents cited by Mauritian media. In the 1990s Ramgoolam switched to law in the UK, and also embarked on his political career, becoming leader of the Labour Party in Mauritius. After his two tenures as premier, he suffered defeat at the ballot box in 2014 and again in 2019. He lost in 2019 to Pravind Jugnauth, the man he later vanquished in Sunday's poll. Two months after his December 2014 election loss to Jugnauth's father Anerood Jugnauth, Ramgoolam was arrested on charges including conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and money laundering, but has never been convicted. He has denounced the accusations against him as the «politics of revenge».
The UK will aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 81 percent on 1990 levels by 2035, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Tuesday, as his government ramps up its ambitions to help curb climate change. The new target is the latest policy change in this area by Starmer's new Labour government, which took power in July. It follows criticism that the previous Conservative administration under Rishi Sunak was failing to deliver on the so-called green agenda. Ex-prime minister Boris Johnson had committed in 2021 to curb such emissions by 78 percent over the same period compared to 1990. Starmer unveiled the revised target at the start of the COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, where he is one of the only G20 leaders to show up. The summit has been overshadowed by the re-election in the United States of longtime climate change sceptic Donald Trump, as well as new warnings that 2024 is on track to break temperature records. Starmer said Britain was «building on our reputation as a climate leader» and that it has «a critical role to play». «I've had a series of meetings here at COP this week because this government recognises that the world stands at a critical juncture in the climate crisis,» he said. «There is no national security, there is no economic security, there is no global security without climate security.» - 'Feasible' - Sunak faced criticism for a series of moves during his 20-month tenure which were seen as backpedalling on the UK's climate commitments. They included delaying the shift to electric cars and granting a flurry of controversial new oil and gas licences. Labour won the July general election vowing to be more ambitious, promising among other things to decarbonise the UK's electricity grid by 2030. It has since ended an effective Tory ban on new onshore wind projects and ended new oil and gas exploration licences in the North Sea. The new government has also closed the UK's last coal power plant, prompting Starmer to proclaim Tuesday that Britain was the «first G7 economy to phase out coal power». The Climate Change Committee (CCC), the UK's top advisory body on the issue, warned shortly after Labour took power that it must act «fast» to put the country back on track to meet its climate goals. Piers Forster, its interim head, welcomed Tuesday's new «Nationally Determined Contribution», or NDC, target for 2035 as «showing climate leadership». «Our analysis shows that this is a feasible target that will support jobs and investment,» he said, adding it was «informed by the latest science, technological developments, and the UK’s national circumstances». - 'Ahead of the game' - Appearing mindful of accusations of being overly interventionist, Starmer insisted his ministers were not going to «start telling people how to live their lives» to meet the goal. «We're not going to start dictating to people what they do,» he added. However, the UK leader reiterated his view that «inaction and delay» on climate change were not an option. «Make no mistake, the race is on for the clean energy jobs of the future, the economy of tomorrow,» he said. «And I don't want to be in the middle of the pack. I want to get ahead of the game.» Various environmental groups cautiously welcomed the new 2035 target. Friends of the Earth's head of campaigns, Rosie Downes, called it «a step in the right direction but (that it) must be seen as a floor to the level of ambition not a ceiling». «Deeper, faster cuts are needed to help avert the climate collision course we are on,» she added. Meanwhile Forster noted a target was «only as meaningful as the delivery against it». «We need to see further urgent action to speed up deployment of low-carbon solutions such as electric vehicles, heat pumps and tree planting,» he added.
