DevinNo. Mauritius is an independent state. So is South Africa. Asking this question is the equivalent of asking if Canada is Russian country. You possibly meant to ask if Mauritius was a southern African country, in which case the answer would be,
"Geographically, no: it's an island 2500km away from the African coast. Politically and economically, sure: it's part of a few different organisations made up of southern African countries, like SADC (Southern African Development Community)."
