Terminal 3 Launched To a Difficult Crowd

Not many applauses during the official ceremony for the new building. Though it has received a lot of positive reviews. Maybe because it wasn't done in either the global lingua franca or the language 84% of us speak at home. Or that beautiful language in which the PM delivers his press conferences and Independence Day messages.

If you are impressed by the amount of money it has cost us then you should definitely have a look at our debt servicing numbers since the bean-counting reforms of two university buddies started screwing up Mauritius back in 2005.

Let's hope T3 will help us climb a few notches up Africa's busiest airport (by passenger traffic) list: we've been oscillating between 18th and 20th for the past five years.

Minister Proves He Can Do Better Than Forgetting Rodrigues

After Rodrigues was completely left out in one of his budget speech and most of the citizens of Mauritius in the others, Sithanen has now pushed out the limits of absurdity by discriminating against our fellow citizens who live in Rodrigues.

Indeed it cost a third cheaper to fly to there from Plaisance than if you begin your journey in Plaine Corail. Plus there are all kinds of stupid restrictions. Does that make any sense to you? Does it make more sense than the super high pump prices he's fleecing us with?

Thank God we're going to vote soon.
