Ghana Calling! Book This Hotel
Seychelles Week A Hit In Tanzania!
The first Seychelles Week in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, came to an end last Saturday with a traditional Ngalawa boat race.
The week was organised by Seychelles’ honorary consul Maryvone Pool, who is also our appointed tourism ambassador in Tanzania, in collaboration with the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB).
A crowd of some 1,500 local people had gathered for an afternoon of fun at Msasani Minazini Beach, where sounds of top African tracks from Clouds FM radio echoed around the open grounds. The musical group Zez and dancers who had flown in from Seychelles also performed live and added some real Creole ambiance to the event.
Capital Television of Tanzania was present to cover this very exciting last day and capture the thrills as 15 traditional dhows were flagged off to start the race out of Msasani Bay.
The sail of each boat proudly bore the logo of private sponsors, including Air Seychelles, the STB, Bon Voyage, Winglink, Delfina Promotions, Capital Television, Movenpick Royal Palm Hotel, Vodacom, Zantel, ComAir, British Airways, Computer Connections and Precision Air.
While the boats raced each other, the public had a chance to buy crafts from Seychelles such as bags, pareos and intriguingly shaped coco de mer sculptures.
At the end of the race, cash prizes were presented to the winners by Ms Pool, Sharon Rosalie of the STB and representatives of the sponsors.
A raffle draw was also held to cap off the successful week, and the first prize of a holiday to the Seychelles Islands was sponsored by Precision Air and Kenya Airways via Nairobi. The second prize was another air ticket sponsored by Air Seychelles and Com Air.
The curtain was brought down on the event with a vote of thanks by Ms Pool and Ms Rosalie, after which members of the public joined Zez on stage for some farewell sega dancing.

Public Urged To Support Local Artists During Creole Festival!
Anytime Is A Wonderful Time To Visit The Seychelles!
The Creole Festival, the unique celebration of the Seychellois culture in all its aspects – its cuisine, dance, folklore and music – is to be held in the coming month.
All the activities for the festival have one thing in common, and that is Creole music.
And local telecommunications company Cable & Wireless Seychelles is calling on the public to support local artists through its latest initiative, Cable Tunes.
This latest trend is a ringtone personalisation service, which allows a person to use a tune that callers can hear before the call is answered to replace the standard ringtone for both post-paid and pre-paid customers.
Terry Servina, C&W’s public relations manager, said Cable Tunes is different from other services because its aim is to support local artists and promote their music.
He said the service is becoming very popular, especially among the young people, and it is for this reason that the company is giving more support during the October festival.
Under the theme Siport artis lokal, the company offers support in various ways, including helping the artists to launch new CDs and give musical performances.
“Young, upcoming artists need support to start their career, and we have seen that there is a need to help them as they are full of talent,” added Mr Servina.
It costs the artists a lot to produce a single, but Mr Servina said through this initiative they can have just one song and add it to the service for their fans.
This, he said, can help the artists save money which they can later use to compile a complete CD.
Albert Duncan, product executive, said Cable & Wireless advertises the content on its website in four categories – oldies but goodies, latest tunes, traditional tunes and most popular – and in adverts in the media.
He said for each tune there is a revenue share between C&W and the artist.
Clients are calling to ask for songs that were among the top hits once, and Mr Duncan said this shows the service is appreciated.
Mr Servina said the company set a target which, to their surprise, was met after only three weeks, which shows people are responding well to Cable Tunes.
The two managers are also calling on local artists to make an effort to encourage their fans or the public in general to register with Cable Tunes so they can sell their work.
The company is working on several projects such as a charity show under the theme Siport artis lokal and in line with the Cable Tunes initiative.
Mr Duncan said the artists have responded very well to the idea, and a good relationship has been developed between the two sides.
