It's a building steeped in history, which has served the community since the early 1900s! It is therefore in urgent need of repair and renovation,
Vijaye Ramchurn, CEO of the Mauritius Post Ltd

Effective immediately, the Elie & Sons Funeral Scheme is now available for subscription at all Mauritius Post office branches across the island. This collaboration is designed to offer you and your loved ones security, comfort and peace of mind, right in your local neighbourhood.

Hindu Plan Included

Mauritius is a land of many cultures and faiths. We understand that funeral rites are deeply personal. That is why the scheme includes a dedicated Hindu Plan, designed to respect traditional Hindu ceremonies, customs and specific requirements. Every family’s beliefs are honoured.

MJ Développement will not only bring its financial support but also its expertise to this project. He has surrounded himself with various construction experts, who will also bring their know-how to the restoration of the Rivière-Noire post office.“As lovers of Mauritius and passionate about real estate and heritage, we felt it our duty to preserve this superb little building which is part of the architectural heritage of Rivière Noire, a region dear to our hearts. This old building is an important landmark in Rivière-Noire and we are proud to play a role in its restoration and to collaborate with this essential institution that is the Mauritius Post Ltd. I would also like to thank our consulting partners, construction professionals, who wanted to work on the project, but also the Mauritius Post Ltd for the confidence it places in us,” said Michaël Ruel, president of MJ Développement.


The post office will thus be relocated a few meters further during the restoration work. This renovation project, which should be completed within three months, will include a total renovation of the exterior (replacement of shingles, identical, etc.). Work on the rock walls must be carried out in order to expose this magnificent emblematic stone of Mauritius. Inside, the electrical system will be brought up to standard, a new floor covering will be put in place, a rehabilitation of the sanitary facilities is also planned. La Poste has planned to redevelop the public work and reception areas.

Mauritius Post Ltd – Customer Satisfaction Survey

Mauritius Post is currently undertaking a strategic review to improve its services and better meet customer expectations. Your feedback is very important and will directly contribute to shaping the future of postal and logistics services in Mauritius.

Mauritius Post Ltd informs its esteemed customers and the general public that, due to a substantial increase in the volume of air parcels and small packets, combined with limited cargo space on Air Mauritius flights to Rodrigues, the regular daily dispatch of these items has been temporarily suspended.  During this period, priority will be given to EMS services and letter mail, while the transportation of parcels and small packets will be subject to delays. Customers intending to send parcels using Colipost boxes (sizes S, M, L, and XL) are advised to use the sea freight service for shipments to Rodrigues.  We would like to reassure you that all parcels, up to a maximum weight of 10 kg, will continue to be accepted via Surface Mail. Mauritius Post Ltd has put measures in place to ensure that surface mail dispatches to Rodrigues occur at least twice a month to minimise disruptions.  We sincerely regret any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Mauritius Post Ltd remains committed to providing timely updates on the situation as developments unfold.  Thank you for your continued cooperation.
