(Government Notice No.224 of 2017) 9 ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS SHOPRITE (MAURITIUS) LTD – FIRE OUTBREAK & FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE The Leader of the Opposition (Mr X. L. Duval) (by Private Notice) asked the Vice- Prime Minister, Minister of Local Government and Outer Islands whether, in regard to buildings, she will state, since 11 July 2017, the measures taken by her Ministry to improve the fire safety thereof and, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service, information as to – (a) the measures taken to upgrade its firefighting equipment, and (b) if the warehouse of the Shoprite Mall at Trianon was in full compliance with all such currently applicable norms as at the date of the recent fire outbreak thereat. The Vice-Prime Minister, Minister of Local Government and Outer Islands (Mrs F. Jeewa-Daureeawoo): Madam Speaker, at the outset, allow me to express my deepest condolences and sympathy to the grieving family of late Mr Dineshwar Domah. I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life of this young man in the fire outbreak at Shoprite (Mauritius) Ltd last week. The whole nation is devastated by this sad incident. Every death is one death too many. On Saturday 18 November, I carried out a site visit at the scene of the fire and had the opportunity to meet the parents of late Mr Domah. While I was in office at the Ministry of Gender Equality, Child Development and Family Welfare, I gave instructions for psychological support and counselling to be offered to the parents and close relatives. In an effort to take stock of the situation and ensure coordination between the different stakeholders, a crisis committee meeting, chaired by myself, was held on the same afternoon of Saturday 18. The meeting comprised officers of my Ministry, the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life, the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity, and Environment and Sustainable Development, the Mauritius Police Force, the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service, the Special Mobile Force, the Municipal Council of Quatre Bornes, the General Manager of Shoprite (Mauritius) Ltd, and representatives of Trianon Shopping Park. 10 The top priority was to ensure the continuity of the rescue and search operations, under the supervision of relevant authorities. On Sunday 19 November, the Police confirmed that the missing body found was in fact that of late Mr Dineshwar Domah. The crisis committee met again yesterday morning for an update on the situation and the way forward. Now, we also need to consider the reopening of Trianon Shopping Park, as hundreds of jobs are at stake. However, the complex will not be opened until we secure the clearances of all relevant authorities. The different Ministries concerned are working to make sure that Trianon Shopping Park is safe to be opened to the employees and the public at large. With regard to buildings and measures taken since 11 July 2017, it should be noted that the buildings can be categorized as follows - 1. High-rise buildings 2. Government-owned buildings 3. Privately-owned buildings occupied by Government organisations Following a survey carried out by the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service, which began prior to 11 July 2017, there are 342 high-rise buildings with more than 3 floors. These buildings are commercial, residential and mixed occupancies. All these buildings have been inspected by the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service. Out of the 342 high-rise buildings, one hundred and thirty-nine have been issued with a Fire Certificate after 11 July 2017. Out of the above 342 high-rise buildings, it was noted that 203 buildings do not comply with fire safety measures and Fire Certificates have not yet been issued. However, the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service has initiated action to serve improvement notices in the first instance. The House may also wish to note that there are 1,229 buildings which are occupied by Government organisations, out of which, 1,019 are owned by the State. Prior to 11 July 2017, 60 State-owned buildings had a Fire Certificate. One hundred and forty-three buildings owned by the State do not require a Fire Certificate because they are not occupied by more than 20 persons and they have a floor area of less than 250 square metres. Thus, they do not fall under the parameters of the OSHA 2005 and the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service Act of 2013. These 143 buildings have been inspected and issued with a fire clearance.

  • Tourism and Its Relationship to Community Development in Chamarel, Mauritius
    Tourism and its relationship to community development in Chamarel, Mauritius Davina Zara Ludmilla Prang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of London Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2016 Acknowledgements The completion of this study represents a significant turning point in my life. It has been a long journey and has demanded a lot of effort, time and personal sacrifice. During this time I was lucky to have the support of many people. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my Director of Studies Professor Dean Bartlett and for the advice and support of my Head of Department Professor Jillian Farquar. I am grateful for the numerous readers of my work including Professor Michael Hitchcock and Professor Marcus Stephenson who supported the proposals and findings of this study and their valuable insights over many years. The research for this thesis would not have been possible without the kind help and generosity of the villagers of Chamarel who gave up their time freely to share in discussions and allowed me to interview them. I felt humbled by their sense of optimism as they shared their innermost thoughts and lives with me. I am indebted to the families who welcomed me into their world and experiences of everyday Mauritian life. My taxi driver was a valuable friend who participated in the research on community tourism whole heartedly. I would like to thank the many informants including staff members of the Ministry of Tourism, Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture and the Mauritius Research Council for their hospitality and lively debates on tourism development and Creole communities.

The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University WOMEN AND POLITICS IN A PLURAL SOCIETY: THE CASE OF MAURITIUS Town Ramola RAMTOHULCape of Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the UniversityAfrican Gender Institute University of Cape Town February 2009 Women and Politics in a Plural Society: The Case of Mauritius ABSTRACT This research is a socio-historical study of women and politics in the Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius. It traces the historical evolution of women‟s political engagement in social and women‟s movements as well as in the formal political institutions. The backdrop to this study was my interest in the field of women and politics and concern on women‟s marginal presence in the Mauritian parliament since women obtained the right to vote and stand for election in 1947, and until recently, the stark silences on this issue in the country. Mauritius experienced sustained democracy following independence and gained a solid reputation in terms of its stable democratic regime and economic success. Despite these achievements, the Mauritian democracy is deficient with regard to women‟s representation at the highest level of decision-making, in parliament. Moreover, the absence of documentation on this topic has rendered the scope of thisTown study broad. In this thesis I primarily draw on the postcolonial feminist writings to study women‟s political activism in social and women‟s movements.
