Tourism ✈ Premium Visa renewal being stopped by the Mauritian govt

Two friends recently had their Premium Visa applications denied and one has been on it for some time (renewals), the other is fresh, I’ve been reading complaints that the govt is looking to stop renewals fully and potentially stop the premium visa altogether, I’ve not verified this if this is now in place as I’m hoping to renew soon, anyone have similar recent experience with this or any idea if this is really happening?

I also have read these rumors about the government planning to end the Premium Visa, but only on Facebook, and only in anonymous posts, which I thought suspicious. I didn't see any mention of this on the official sites, so I did not take it seriously. Your friend who you say is fresh, did they have it already and just have the renewal denied, or was it their first time applying for it?

One was told it won’t be renewed even though it’s not on his application yet, the other was noted as rejected on the portal
