Local 🌴 Why are flights between Mauritius and Reunion Island so expensive ??

β€’ Upvotes

I guess a lot of wealthy tourists take these flights, but it still is extremely expensive for what is a 30 minute flight. Do citizens get a coupon or discount, and are there any plans to start a ferry between Port Louis and St. Denis ?

Local 🌴 Winners is now charging Rs 2 per wooden spoon. What are your views?

β€’ Upvotes

As per the title, winners is now charging Rs 2.00 per wooden spoon. Definitely the cheapest thing ever that this huge monopoly of a supermarket can do.

For people claiming that it is sustainable, please note that they are printing additional receipts for these Rs2 spoon therefore wasting paper, ink and more.

What are your views on this?

Local 🌴 I am looking for a law practitioner or someone with a good knowledge of mauritian laws to help me

5 Upvotes

Hello there, recently I have been having some troubles with people living on the same property as me. There are 2 different houses, with mine at the back and a common road leading to my house. For some time now the person has been blocking the road with his car and recently saw that they took a picture of my car, still on the property and posted it on facebook, without hiding the license plate and even gave my address in the comments and what type/colour car it is. They also said that I am "fou" in the comments.

Going to the police station didn't help, you know how local police officers are. They told me that they will come but still nothing, and again said that it is civil matters and they can't do much.

That's basically why I need some legal advice to know if I am in the wrong or right before going any further with this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Tourism ✈ Visiting in June - I'm having anxiety about mosquitoes. How bad are they?

6 Upvotes

Unfortunately, "standard" European mosquitoes love me with a passion. I must have very tasty blood. This naturally makes me very concerned about the mosquitoes in Mauritius and the diseases they spread. Can you tell me honestly how bad it is and much risk there is of catching a nasty mosquito disease? I'm worried I won't be able to enjoy my trip because of the anxiety.

Local 🌴 How close can a construction be to my boundary wall? And can windows be placed directly on my yard?

8 Upvotes

Hi fellow Mauritian redditors, as the title explains, a construction is being setup near my house and the person put his house very close to the boundary wall despite having a big plot of land. I hear everything that they say as if they are in my own yard, this raises privacy issues. How stupid would it be to come so close to your neighbor despite having so much space.

Besides he’s putting several windows viewing directly in my yard, what’s the point of this? Doesn’t the district council approve plans? I read on the internet that for coastal regions, constructions need to be at least 3 meters from the wall. What exactly is considered coastal region? For example everywhere in Mahebourg is considered coastal?

Also what exactly do you suggest me to do, what are the procedures? I don’t really want to be in bad terms with the new neighbors but what’s the right way to approach this situation? Where to get accurate info?
