Launching of a New postage Stamp and First Day Cover on the occasion of the 93rd Birth Anniversary of late Sir Anerood Jugnauth (SAJ), GCSK, KCMG, QC, PC, former Prime Minister and former President of the Republic of Mauritius.
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

And without the unfailing support of partners such as MJ Développement and his collaborators, to whom we are most grateful, this work would not have been possible. The Rivière-Noire post office has been an integral part of the community for more than a century. We are very happy with the opportunity given to us by MJ Développement to give it back its nobility. A post office is an essential space within a city where residents come for our postal services, but also to pay their bills and vehicle declarations, create an online business and apply for their driving license, among others. Thanks to this initiative by MJ Développement,he adds.

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.
