Ring Bang monument to be tribute to Hochoy Charles


THE 60-foot dancing figure at the top of Signal Hill, a monument of the controversial Ring Bang Celebration in 2000, will be illuminated in tribute to deceased Hochoy Charles, Tobago's first chief secretary.


THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine made the announcement on Wednesday as he responded to a question on the status of the monument, which was erected while Charles was in charge of the THA.


Augustine said: “We are cleaning up in and around the Ring Bang statue monument. We are looking into the possibility of having it lit so that even in the night it can be seen. Whether that would be a possibility at this time, immediately, that is unsure."


But he said the THA was hoping at least to "have it lit for a seven-day period from tomorrow night (January 4, the day of Charles's funeral), and then pause and do the necessary infrastructural works so that it can be permanently lit.”Read More
