We are talking about Mauritius in terms of economic growth, modern nation, and future Africa/Asia hub, but we don’t pay much attention to crucial aspects like social balance, equitable wealth spread, and a Mauritius that has a place for everyone. We don’t realize that these crucial aspects have a major contribution towards helping the country progress.
I understand that making this country good for everyone is not a straightforward task, but I was amazed by how oblivious a great majority of Mauritians are to what is happening in their own country. When I showed them this documentary, they were so shocked to see the level of poverty that existed in our country.
If we don’t even know what serious problems really exist, then how are we going to start talking about finding solutions. Mauritians are increasingly becoming self-centered individuals who just focus on acquiring wealth. We forget that others exist around us. We forget that we will have to spend this wealth in this very society, and if the society turns upside down because we forgot that others existed, then our wealth will not be worth anything.
Hi
I have been away from Mauritius for long time, I am now living in South Africa.I never realise that people are still living in such poverty in the year 2008 in Mauritius.
Where is all the money going, how much can it cost our Government to develop this area. I wish those people could stand together to make things work for a better life. Those staying there should be one team to be able to fight for their rights.
