Weekly: Headlines of the new edition
COVER STORY
Ruhomally: “Soodhun would not have withdrawn the case if he had not been cornered.”
The man did not look very healthy when we showed up at his place. Straight out of the hospital after three stents, Hassenjee Ruhomally was recovering from the aftermath of the operation, from a Rs400,000 he – unlike his accuser – had to settle but particularly from the ordeal he and his wife have been through. From a lying position, Ruhomally found it in him to continue his fight. He is not the type to take things lying down.
INTERVIEW
Outgoing US Ambassador Shari Villarosa: “The ICAC has lost all credibility”
Weekly caught up with Shari Villarosa, the outgoing US ambassador to Mauritius, and gauged her views on the country she was leaving. The former ambassador gives surprisingly frank opinions on issues like the independence of institutions, corruption and meritocracy.
ISSUES
Ministers “controlling” social media: Political suicide?
“Facebook has become their private property,” a journalist wrote on social media, referring to the government. One day later, he was in a hospital bed. Nitin Jeeha from MMM TV was violently assaulted by a minister’s brother after he criticised the police in a post – but his case is only the latest in a series of controversies that began on social media. And while these controversies are raining over us, ministers are spending time and money into building their personal social media empires. How much of a bomb is social media really and who will get hurt when it explodes?
EDUCATION
Scholarships: Try your luck!
The race for scholarships just after the announcement of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) is growing tougher and fiercer year on year. Yet, it would seem that more opportunities in terms of fully or partly funded scholarships, which students can benefit from, appear now.
