Aggie Dent, a renowned aviatrix who has taught a few Seychellois aviators including Captain Francois Jackson, was recently in Seychelles. She came at an opportune time when Seychelles was marking an important milestone last month, its 45-year journey of civil aviation.
During her visit to Seychelles, the aviatrix met Captain Jackson and presented him with the outstanding services to civil aviation award, for having completed 40 years as a pilot. This was during a ceremony held recently in the VIP lounge at the international airport. She taught Captain Jackson to fly on a Cessna 152 aerobat at the Seychelles Aero Club. The captain went on to become the chief pilot for the national airline Air Seychelles.

In Kenya, the pandemic has shown that church leaders are out of control
Since Covid-19 hit Kenya, one of the most populous countries in Africa, faith leaders have been flaunting the rules.

Nearly a year after the pandemic first hit Kenya, the country has reported 113,236 infections and 1,913 coronavirus-related deaths. The actual numbers are likely to be higher. It is leading the other East African Community states, such as Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. It s a good time to reflect on how the country dealt with the pandemic since the first case was reported on March 13, 2020. Crucial to this has been the relationship between the state and the church, with religious leaders refusing to obey government regulations and putting the people at risk.
