James Mancham Monument

A three-meter-tall bronze statue of the late Seychelles president James Mancham was unveiled on Thursday and a family member said it was a fitting tribute to an inspirational leader. James Mancham Monument is the fifth most beautiful historic site in Seychelles.

The bronze statue, which stands tall in the Peace Park, overlooking Freedom Square and Victoria, stands as a commemoration of the achievements and contributions of Sir James during his reign as President between June 29, 1976, to June 5, 1977, and his numerous noteworthy achievements and awards in subsequent years.

The location for the statue, the Peace Park in the centre of Victoria, is a vivid testimony of the significant part of his life that Sir James Mancham has been advocating for global peace and reconciliation. President Faure and an emotional Lady Catherine Mancham then unveiled the statue, which was carved by a prominent South African sculptor, Jean Doyle.

Location: Victoria, Seychelles.
