On 18 September 2025, Mauritius commemorates 125 years since the birth of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam (SSR), affectionately remembered as the Father of the Nation. This commemorative stamp is a heartfelt tribute to a man whose vision and leadership changed the course of our history.
The stamp design portrays SSR with a calm yet resolute expression which reflects the legacy of a man who dedicated his life to building a fairer, stronger Mauritius.
Born in 1900 in Belle Rive, SSR rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected statesmen of the 20th century. His early life was marked by resilience and determination, qualities that would later define his political journey. After completing his medical studies in London, he returned to his beloved island to shape a new future of Mauritius.
Guiding Mauritius through the peaceful attainment of independence in 1968, SSR laid the foundations of a modern nation built on unity, justice, liberty and opportunity. His leadership brought free education, improved healthcare and vital infrastructure to every corner of the country. Above all, he nurtured a vision of a Mauritius where people of different cultures, religions and backgrounds could live together in harmony – a principle that remains a cornerstone of our national identity. On the world stage, he represented Mauritius with dignity, earning the respect of leaders and nations alike.

We would like to bring to your attention the existence of a fraudulent profile on Facebook, which falsely claims to be representing Mauritius Post Ltd.
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.
