An
avid commentator of the Mauritian scene once remarked that we are des beaux
parleurs, and we get so carried away by our own rhetoric that we start believing
in them and the clichés that we readily churn out. We have turned our homeland into a knowledge hub, a regional
financial and services hub, a Seafood hub, a judicial hub, an inescapable Cyber
hub, a Financial, Banking, Management or Legal Service Centre, a Maurice Ile
Durable, you name it.
