    Appendix 3.2.4 Effects of the constructed countermeasure works (evaluations) JICA Technical cooperation project: Landslide adviser for Mauritius (Final Report) Appendix 3.2.4 Effects of the constructed countermeasure works (evaluations) Existing slope countermeasures were found only in two sites of the total 18, and it was judged that those countermeasures were insufficient by MPI and JET. <Management No.2016-010, Maconde> This slope is located at the cape of Maconde on the south coast of the island. Most of the rock falls were from the basalt part of the cliff. In July and August 2014, RDA carried out removal works of rocks which were unstable and close to the road, and a new road (shift of alignment) was built to reduce the damage from rock falls. In addition, a retaining wall with a rockfall protection fence has been installed in one part of the site. However, it was judged that those countermeasures were insufficient. Rock falls and small rock failures are also a frequent occurrence along the new road because the rocks are weathered, and there is a high possibility of rock fall in future. Photo 1 Maconde (Management No.2016-010), 5 August 2016 (Source: JET) 1 JICA Technical cooperation project: Landslide adviser for Mauritius (Final Report) Appendix 3.2.4 <Management No. 2016-018, Hermitage> This site is situated in the vicinity of Grand River North West. As an existing countermeasure, a boundary wall was constructed by the land developer, but it had been already collapsed in 2012. In the future, a retaining wall should be installed there as a permanent countermeasure for the slope.

  • 1: Manumission and Freedom in Early British Mauritius, 1811–1839
    4 ‘Fit for Freedom’1: Manumission and Freedom in Early British Mauritius, 1811–1839 Satyendra Peerthum …it was often possible for the slave [and apprentice], by great perseverance and labour to purchase his own freedom and, this being accomplished the freedom of those dear to him.2 The slaves, however, were not prepared to wait for freedom to come to them as a dispensation from above….They were fully impressed with the belief that they were entitled to their freedom and that the cause they had embraced was just and in vindication of their own rights.3 Introduction The objective of this chapter is to explore the experience of slaves during the Slave Amelioration Period and of apprentices during the Apprenticeship era in Mauritius. It focuses on slaves’ and apprentices’ attempts to free themselves through manumission, their motives and the methods used to achieve this between 1829 and 1839. The aim is to show that slaves did not wait for the official abolition of slavery by the British government to attempt to change their servile status and instead used innovative attempts to improve their lives. As stated by Saunders for South Africa: Historians of slavery…may lay too great a stress on the great day of freedom…or the more important day four years later. Freedom had come to many individuals long before either of those dates … Individually and collectively they moved from effective slavery to ‘freedom’ before emancipation day dawned for the slaves.4 The slaves’ and apprentices’ attempts at manumission were interpreted in a number of ways by colonial officials and local colonists, and thus this chapter will 70 Transition from Slavery in Zanzibar and Mauritius also seek to extract all available information from sources to try to understand the world view of the slaves as this is rarely seen or stated explicitly in the sources.

  • DIRECTOR of PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS V JAGDAWOO V
    DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS v JAGDAWOO V. & ORS 2016 SCJ 100 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS SCR No. 7793 In the matter of: The Director of Public Prosecutions Appellant v. V. Jagdawoo & Ors Respondents JUDGMENT This is an appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions against a judgment of the Magistrates of the Intermediate Court dismissing the 2 counts of an information brought against the respondents. Respondent No. 2 having passed away, the appeal now lies only against respondents nos. 1,3 and 4. The appeal is against the dismissal by the Court of the charge brought under count I of the information which was for an offence of “abuse of authority by public officers” in breach of Section 77 of the Criminal Code. The respondents, who were all police officers, were charged for having, on 12 January 2006 at Line Barracks Port Louis, wilfully and unlawfully committed an arbitrary act prejudicial to the Constitution of Mauritius in that they subjected one Ramdoolar Ramlogun, who was in police 2 custody as a suspect in a murder case, to inhuman and degrading treatment contrary to section 7 of the Constitution. The inhuman and degrading treatment was particularised as “physical abuse”. It is not in dispute that on 12 January 2006 Ramlogun was arrested by the police in connection with a murder case, he was detained at the Line Barracks Detention Centre and on 14 January 2006 he passed away whilst still in police custody. An initial question of law arose at the outset of the appeal concerning the scope of application of section 77 of the Criminal Code.
