TIMES of Seychelles hits the stands |17 March 2015


The first issue of TIMES of Seychelles came out yesterday, replacing the THE VICTORIA TIMES.

Editor George Thande said the 12-page newspaper will still be published three times a week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday – and costs R8.
The lead story of yesterday’s TIMES of Seychelles’ first issue was: David Pierre: ‘Highly likely I’ll run for presidency’.

Speaking to Seychelles Nation, Mr Thande said “TIMES of Seychelles will contain more features, analyses, shorter articles and profiles”.

He added that the lay-out of the tri-weekly newspaper is also different.
Explaining the reasons for having more features, Mr Thande said when THE VICTORIA TIMES absorbed some of the staff of the defunct Isola Bella magazine, they brought with them the tradition of writing features which Isola Bella was known for.

“Whenever we published features in THE VICTORIA TIMES, people loved it and we received positive feedback. This is why we will be increasing the number of features in the TIMES of Seychelles,” noted editor Thande.
THE VICTORIA TIMES was first published in April 2013.
