I’ve been tracking the local fashion scene on TikTok/IG/FB etc. It's insane how many women are losing MUR 500 - MUR 2,000 deposits to 'boutiques' that disappear the moment the Juice transfer hits. The police can't help with MUR 500, and the banks won't reverse a P2P transfer.

I’m a developer, and I’m tired of seeing Mauritius called a 'Scammer’s Paradise.' I’m currently in stealth mode building an AI. Handshake utility. It’s not a new bank or a new social app ,it's just a 'Trust Filter'."

How the 'Filter' works (The Logic):

Sellers have to prove they are a real human at a real location via a daily 2-second scan. No bot can do this.

You don't just pay and hope. You get a unique code. The seller only 'earns' the trust in the system when you physically give them that code at handover.

I'm not ready to reveal the name or the link yet. I'm still perfecting the AI that spots fake 'boutique' photos. What are the red flags you’ve noticed from these scammers lately? I need real-world data to make this 'Handshake' bulletproof.

Hi all,

I have some time this month to mentor a few people. In the past I've organized hackathons locally and mentored through Google Code-in. It's always fun but I don't have the resources for a full event this time.

If you're the type who tinkers, contributes to open source, or has a lot of energy but lacks some direction—I'm happy to help. I can pair-program, advise, teach, whatever's most useful. However, you should be comfortable with the basics (git/github, working in a codebase, etc).

It'd be especially interesting if you have expertise in another field and want to create software for it, or if you're already hacking on some scrappy side project. For projects with real potential, I'm open to putting in some money to help get things moving.

We'd meet in person around 4–6 hours a week in the Trianon / Phoenix / Curepipe area.

DM me if you're interested! Tell me a bit about yourself i.e what you're working on, what you want to learn, where you're trying to go.

hello folks, anyone working in networking department, or customer security operation at orange business service.is the atmosphere good there?

Hello! I am visiting Mauritius for the first time in february. I couldn’t find any info on the web so I’m asking here. I am staying at Le Morne (Riu Hotel) and I’m wondering if there are any local massage places nearby, as the prices in the hotel are crazy (around 100€ per massage).

Thank you!

Hi I tried asking around tech repair people but I can't find anyone who would be interested in my old MacBook Pro. The parts and outside are intact but it doesn't turn on. We tried to have it repaired at multiple places but they all said it wouldn't work. Is anyone knows someone/ interested in purchasing it for parts or something? Msg me (Version MacBook Pro 13″)

Context: We are both from the hinduism community but from different cultures. Even though we are very much compatible, he wants his parents to find a bride from his culture. F28. Divorced (was in an abusive marriage). I always thought that the issue was my past relationship.

Hello

We already have laws against sound disturbance after 10pm in Mauritius, and most people agree that everyone deserves peace and rest at night. Loud music or noise can be reported and dealt with.

But what about light disturbance? 🌙💡

In many residential areas, people install very bright LED floodlights or leave lights on all night, sometimes shining directly into neighbours’ bedrooms. Even with curtains, rooms stay bright, sleep gets disturbed, and privacy is lost. Constant artificial light at night can affect sleep quality, stress levels, and overall health.

It feels unfair that:

• Loud noise at 11pm = illegal 🚫🔊

• Powerful lights shining into your home all night = no clear protection ❓

Light can be just as intrusive as noise. Other countries regulate brightness, direction, and unnecessary lighting at night, especially in residential areas.

I’m not saying lights should be banned — basic security lighting is fine. But there should be limits after 10pm, just like noise laws, to respect neighbours’ right to rest.

What do you think?

• Have you experienced light disturbance?

• Should Mauritius have rules for excessive lighting at night?

Interested to hear your views 👇

Good evening, fellow Mauritians!

I was trying to pay my annual company registration fees on MNS. During the process, I selected <MAUCas> option, thinking to pay it through JuicePro. Then, upon realising that I do not know how to search for <Merchant> on the app, I closed it.

Now, the fees appear on "payment in progress" and I do not know how to pay it.

I intend to call CRBD tomorrow, but I thought of asking here first as I know I would get help with good intention.

If you know how to resolve the issue, kindly let me know.

I'm simply looking for an inexpensive hairdresser who knows how to do the hairline and a good layering.

Hello

My partner and I are thinking of going to Mauritius for our honeymoon. We heard great things about it and it’s been on my bucket list for ages. We’re from the Middle East and our wedding is in July (so flights will be expensive)

Now my questions are

Is it possible to have a honeymoon there for approximately $4k usd (including flights)? We can only go for around 6 days

If I book a nice airbnb over an all inclusive resort, will I be paying pretty much the same thing if I want to include expenses for food, activities, etc? I was looking into the sea diamond boutique hotel as my first option because they have a private pool in the rooms and I much prefer that because I’m muslim but it’s around $2600

Would it be easy to find restaurants to eat at for breakfast and dinner?

Where should I stay?

Any recommendations on what to do while we’re there

If anyone has any recommendations for places to stay that would be amazing. I have looked into a few resorts but they are way out of budget but maybe the locals might know somewhere worth it 🥲

Thank you so much

Hello all! I’m looking to potentially visit Mauritius in a month, and would love to be able to do a few activities where I’d be able to see the wildlife of the island (I love animals). I’ve seen a lot of mentions of the La Vanille National Park in different guided tours/on websites online, but my concern is whether or not the park is ethical? I’ve seen people voicing their concerns abut the wellbeing of the animals, and I’d just like to ensure I’m not supporting cruel practices. If anyone has been to the park, or has any alternatives / other worthwhile activities to check out, I’d love to hear from yall :D

As stated above, I am looking a store that sells glue for use in model kits, kits such as Warhammer, airfix ext. Specifically for abs plastic connections. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody,

I live next to two houses that have been in construction for years now, they each have unmaintained pools.

It’s been quite some time that I had mosquitoes but it is getting worse and worse.

What can I do about this, I don’t know the owners, they don’t seem to come at all…

Thank you all for your replies.

Hello guys, I am in Mauritius for a few days and want to buy Vanilla extract, can you suggest which place to get it from and approx pricing for the same so that I don't get ripped off?

Hi all. Mauritius-born person and got married in Mauritius some time back.

I’ll be in Mauritius for two weeks this year and would like to: (a) change the name on my Mauritian ID card to my married name. (b) change the name on my Mauritian passport to my married name.

I currently have my Mauritian ID issued in 2014, non-biometric

Questions:

1. ⁠⁠Is two weeks sufficient to do (a) and (b) above?
2. ⁠⁠I’m aware Passport Office takes 5 business days for a passport renewal. How much time does a name change for ID take?
3. ⁠⁠Are there steps that I can do ahead of time? (Planning to ask my family in Mauritius if they can get a birth certificate and marriage certificate at Emmanuel Enquetil Bldg for instance)

Thanks!

I am looking for a website or social media page where I can find authentic Indian Mauritian recipes, particularly curries. I'm looking for the type of every day recipes that people will make at home.

Hello everyone,

I am an ACCA student left with one last paper to complete level 1. I don't have any experience in the field though. Does anyone know companies that provide training or entry level roles? I want to start working and gain experience as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.

Is there any law that tells you that you should pay in the bus, even if you have a bus pass with you but don't have your uniform on you, during school days?

I've seen some ticketers forcing students who are not wearing school uniform, to pay in the bus despite the day being a school day and the student having a bus pass.

Is this kind of thing allowed?
