Can a British Citizen apply for a Mauritian passport?

Hello people,

I am a British born citizen and both parents are Mauritians who came to the UK about 45yrs ago and now live here with British passports as they became British Citizens many years ago. My father has since died here in the UK and my mum is still alive. I want to ask;

Can I apply for a Mauritian Passport? Am I eligible to apply for one? And how do I apply for one and what documents do I need to provide? I will be coming to Mauritius in September 2015 so if any particular paperwork is needed, I would have the time to source them.

Thanks in advanced for any answers to my questions.
