According to http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=111216 (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time). A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which changes two days later. Best regards, Steffen / timeanddate.com
