Seychelles has lost Tony Mathiot, an experienced researcher, writer and one of their top historians.
Alain St.Ange, a former Minister and at one time also responsible for Culture said on hearing the sudden passing on Mr Mathiot that the contributions he made throughout his career will be remembered by each and every Seychellois.
“Today the country as a whole is saddened by the sudden passing of Mr Tony Mathiot. His knowledge of our historical past and his willingness to share his extensive knowledge as a Seychellois experienced researcher, writer and one of the top historian of our islands remains difficult to accept. As a former Minister responsible for Culture I worked closely with Tony Mathiot. His contributions with old documents made to every local author was always so appreciated. He will be sorely missed by all” said Alain St.Ange, the island’s former Minister of Culture.
ATCNews extends sincere condolences and expresses deep sympathy to the family and friends of the late Tony, whom I once had the privilege and opportunity to meet.
