Colourful politician Kamal Panday will look back on almostfive decades in politics. He will speak at #Hashtag Books on the Shannon Drive Shopping Centre in Reservoir Hillson Saturday 29 July at 2pm.

Though now officially retired, he and wife, Dr Shobhana Panday still keep an activesocial life and constant contact with their local community. "We are up and about every day whether for a haircut or vegetable shopping," said Panday.

They keep a flat up the coast in La Mercy for weekend getaways. He added that local residents frequently stopped him in the street to ask when they would hear him on a public platform again. He has been a local councillor, provincial member of the legislature and an MP.

The veteran politician who has never lost an election because he insists that he has always had his ear to the people's needs. His academic wife also has a firm following among former students and relishes meeting her old university colleagues. In 2010 he wrote up his memoirs in My Political Footprints.

When invited by publisher Anivesh Singh to speak at the bookshop, Panday was soon persuaded. "The community knows me as someone who was always in touch. I want to use this talk to rekindle old friendships and take a walk down memory lane," added Panday.

Of special interest will be his relationship with the late Amichand Rajbansi who he had known since their school days in Clairwood. The talk is open to the public and book will be available at the shop.
