Africa-Press – Seychelles. ‘A golden heart has stopped beating’ says party leader Patrick Hermimie.
“The United Seychelles mourns the passing away of one of its prominent members, former Vice-President Joseph Belmont.
“VP Belmont, as he was affectionately called by party cadres, was a man of great humility, a patriot and a humanitarian at heart.
“He is best remembered for the avant-garde role he played in the fight for social justice and the elimination of poverty in our beloved country.

“Seychelles has indeed lost a great son who will be recognised by history as a man of resilience, fairness and integrity.
“On my own behalf and on behalf of the United Seychelles, I send healing prayers and comforting thoughts to the families and friends of VP Belmont.

“May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
