Financial scams : Why they’re coming to light now
Since the beginning of the year, the headlines have been dominated by assorted financial and real estate scandals such as Whitedot/Sunkai and, three weeks ago, Weekly uncovered yet another scam about A&A Marketing. Why did it take so long for these scams – some of them operating for years – to come to light? And did the FSC and regulators drop the ball on this one?
ISSUES
HIV self-testing
Why is Mauritius lagging behind?
A new international study suggests that HIV self-testing is the ideal solution to getting the deadly AIDS epidemic under control since it partly removes the fear and stigma associated with being tested for the virus. In Mauritius, however, self-tests are not yet available in pharmacies. What are the authorities waiting for to introduce them? Weekly investigates.
EDUCATION
Good A-levels or foundation courses
Amendments to PSC recruitment criteria stirs controversy
INTERVIEW:
Erastus Mwencha: Deputy Chairperson African Union Commission
The sixth Conference of African Ministers in Charge of Integration took place in Mauritius last week. Weekly caught hold of Erastus Mwencha, deputy chairperson of the African Union Commission, to discuss the economic and political integration of Africa: the good, the bad, the ugly.
THIS IS MAURITIUS
Cosmetic surgery tourism
Operation vacation
A brand-new nose. A pouty pair of collagen-filled lips. Reshaped breasts. Or better yet, a full head of hair. All of that while sunbathing, sipping on cocktails and swimming before jetting back home with the perfect sun-kissed glow. Yes, Mauritius is now being recognised as the land of sun, sand, sea and…stitches!
HEALTH
Dangerous myths about emergency contraceptives
Who’s afraid of the morning-after pill?
The morning-after pill is an emergency solution for women who once in a blue moon take an unwise decision, fail to make correct use of a condom or fall victim to rape. In Mauritius, the pill is widely available but not everyone has a healthy attitude to it. While some allow myths to scare them off emergency contraceptives completely, others put their health at risk by using them too often.
