Zalayhar Hassanali, the widow of this country s second president Noor Hassanali, is hopeful that the fundamentals of a good family structure can be restored in society.
As she celebrates her 90th birthday on Monday, Hassanali told Sunday Newsday in a phone interview that good family relationships were key to a successful and peaceful life and a productive society.
Growing up in Siparia, she recounted her past experiences and attributed her development to a strong family structure which was filled with love, support and humility.
There were also challenges, Hassanali said, but the bond of her family was the main reason for many successes and memorable experiences.

LIVIA Vilimaina, 19, and Mere Tinai, 16, were two very foot-sore and road-weary young trampers when they arrived in Suva after a week-long trek around Viti Levu.
The story about the two young ladies, who were members of the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association) in Suva, was published in The Fiji Times on May 18, 1968.
It was Livia who was the first Fijian girl to win a Duke of Edinburgh Award when she won the Bronze Award for Adventure in 1967.

Rob and Julia want to send a message to victims that it is never too late to come forward and get justice – even years after the crimes have occurred (stock image) Two Basingstoke residents sexually abused by a relative have courageously waived their right to anonymity to speak out in the hope of encouraging more survivors to come forward. For years, Rob Freeman and his aunt, Julia Dinneen, suffered at the hands of David Morison Barker, a Basingstoke man jailed earlier this month for historic child abuse charges. “[Reporting him] was one of the best things I’ve ever done and I would do it again if I had to. I feel loads better for it,” Julia, who was assaulted by her brother-in-law for three years in the 1970s, told The Gazette.

Munford also served on the board of the National Urban League, was a founding member of the Virginia Inter-Racial League, and became a trustee at the historically black Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee.
