BEERGOONATH GHURBURRUN The Prime Minister : Mr Speaker, Sir, it is with deep regret that we have learnt of the demise of Dr. Beergoonath Ghurburrun on 17 November 2013 at the age of 85. Dr. Ghurburrun was born on 14 January 1928 at St. Julien Village where he attended St. Julien Government School for primary education and New Eton College for secondary education. Dr. Ghurburrun then proceeded to France in 1952 for medical studies and studied at the Faculté de médecine de Bordeaux from 1952 to 1955. He also attended the Faculté de médicine de Paris from 1955 to 1956. Dr. Ghurburrun also worked as a medical practitioner in Paris and Morocco. On his return to Mauritius, Dr. Ghurburrun joined the Mauritius Labour Party in 1960 when the struggle for independence intensified. On 11 November 1963, Dr. Ghurburrun was nominated as a Member of the Legislative Council which he served until 10 December 1963. On 16 March 1965, Dr. Ghurburrun was again nominated to serve as a Member of the Legislative Assembly. On 23 November of the same year, he was appointed Minister of Social Security and occupied that post until August 1967. He stood for the 1967 General Elections in the Constituency of Piton and Rivière du Rempart under the banner of the Independence Party and was elected Second Member of the said Constituency. He was again appointed Minister of Social Security and he remained in that post until 04 June 1968. From 11 June 1968 to 25 November 1969, Dr. Ghurburrun occupied the post of Minister of Commerce and Industry. As from 02 December 1969, he was appointed Minister of Communications, a post which he occupied until 29 June 1971. He was appointed Minister of Labour and Social Security on 26 October 1971. On 26 March 1974, Dr. Ghurburrun was appointed Minister of Labour and Industrial Relations and occupied that ministerial post until 25 May 1976. From 20 July 1976 to 21 October 1976, Dr. Ghurburrun occupied the post of Minister of Commerce and Industry. He stood as a candidate for the 1976 and 1982 General Elections in Constituency No. 7, Piton and Rivière du Rempart, but was not returned. However, on 27 November 1979, Dr. Ghurburrun was nominated to replace late hon. Mahesh Teelock. Thereafter, Dr. Ghurburrun became Minister of Health, a portfolio which he 8 occupied from January 1980 to June 1982.

  • THE FORMATION, COLLAPSE and REVIVAL of POLITICAL PARTY COALITIONS in MAURITIUS Ethnic Logic and Calculation at Play *
    VOLUME 4 NO 1 133 THE FORMATION, COLLAPSE AND REVIVAL OF POLITICAL PARTY COALITIONS IN MAURITIUS Ethnic Logic and Calculation at Play * By Denis K Kadima and Roukaya Kasenally ** Denis K Kadima is the Executive Director of EISA. P O Box 740 Auckland Park 2006 Johannesburg Tel: +27 (0) 11 482.5495; Fax: +27 (0) 11 482.6163 e-mail: [email protected] Dr Roukaya Kasenally is a media and political communication specialist and teaches in the Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities at the University of Mauritius. Reduit, Mauritius Tel: +230 454 1041; Fax: +230 686 4000 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Coalitions and alliances are a regular feature of the Mauritian political landscape. The eight post-independence general elections have all been marked by electoral accords where those expecting to retain power or those aspiring to be in power hedge their bets by forming alliances with partners that ensure that they will be elected. Another fascinating feature is that, apart from that in 1976, all these coalitions have been formed before the election, allowing each party leader to engage in a series of tactical and bargaining strategies to ensure that his party gets a fair deal and, more recently, an equal deal, where the alliance partners shared the post of Prime Minister. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this under- researched area and to offer some explanation of the different mechanisms that exist * The authors acknowledge with gratitude the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Johannesburg, and the Embassy of Finland, Pretoria, who funded the project.

  • Read L'express Weekly 25 February,2011
    INTERVIEW] Ahmar Mahboob: “The prestige of Creole has to be raised.” > pp. 38-39 Insert N° 3 • Friday 25 February 2011 Editorial ] by Touria PRAYAG From ideology to personality ny entity which lasts for 75 years deserves our full res- pect. When a political party lasts that long and is in STRAIGHT TALK ] power, there is a lot to celebrate. Congratulations then Ato the Labour Party on an anniversary celebrated in a grand style but without too much wallowing in nostalgia or per- The Labour Party’s Diamond Jubilee sonality cult. The tribute paid to the founding fathers of the party > pp. 44 - 45 was justifi ed and, on the whole, measured. It is undeniable that the party has left an indelible footprint in every aspect of the history of this country and it still is a major force to be reckoned with in today’s Mauritius. But a celebration is not ISKON vs McDonald’s restricted to reminiscing about the past. It is also about refl ecting on the present and looking into the future. To claim that the present La- bour Party has not deviated from its original ideology is not entirely supported by facts. The ideology on which the party was founded has defi nitely moved towards more economic pragmatism, involving The burger of discord a range of measures verging, some might say, on neo-liberalism. Free market policies such as the removal of trade barriers, barriers to the infl ow and outfl ow of capital, the Stimulus Package and the Economic Restructuring and Competitiveness Programme, the fl at corporate tax rate to mention only a few cannot, by any yard stick, be qualifi ed as socialist in nature.
