<B>Voile d’Or manager sacked</B>
Elegant Heritage is no longer part of Voile d’Or’s story… And with it its manager Philippe Requin. Internal sources reveal that Vikram Bhunjun, the chairman of Salt Lake Resorts owning the hotel, made reproaches to Philippe Requin regarding “money losses and marketing mistakes.” But some say that the two men have not even been speaking to one another for months. Employees have been shocked by the news and do not see a bright future ahead. They say that Voile d’Or is starting to get into the swing of things. According to them, “this decision is unacceptable.”
<B>Indian giant in Ebène</B>
One of the most profitable companies in the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) sector in India, Hinduja, has established in Mauritius. Its subsidiary Hinduja TMT, involved in the business outsourcing, opened its twelfth subsidiary in the Ebène cyber tower in Mauritius. The co-president of Hinduja TMT, Ramkrishan Hinduja, thinks that there is a lack of skilled staff in the ICT sector in Mauritius and the government should take the necessary steps to take skilled labour from abroad until Mauritians are ready. The success of the sector largely depends upon finding the right people at the right time.
<B>Room for improvement</B>
Mauritius remains among the countries which has an average level of human development, the report of the United Nations on the human development for 2004 reveals. At the 65th place – while it was 64th last year – Mauritius has good results in the fields of health, education and public expenses. However, the worst result regards the women representation in politics. But the global situation in Mauritius is not so bad compared to some countries of the Southern African Development Community. And the representative of the UNs Development Programme in Mauritius, Aase Smedler, points out that the national policy has been in line with the millennium objectives for development.
Snowy no longer on shelves</B>
The government’s decision to reduce and control profit margins over the milk price continues to make waves. Latrobe, the importer of Snowy, had to close down, which led to 35 layoffs. The company, which has been on the market for four years, explains that it invested Rs 20 million in equipment, transport and publicity. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry is critical about the price control on milk and thinks the closure of this Small and Medium Enterprise is a bad signal for the economy. The public should also complain as the price of Snowy was very competitive.
