Beergoonath Ghurburrun LH GOSK (1928–2013) was a Mauritian figure whose legacy spans the realms of medicine, politics and philanthropy.
[1] Ghurburrun started in public service with his nomination as a Member of the Legislative Council in November 1963, a role he held until December of the same year.
His re-nomination as a Member of the Legislative Assembly in 1965 paved the way for his appointment as Minister of Social Security, a position in which he served until August 1967.
[2] Ghurburrun was severely blamed for his inaction by judge Droopnath Ramphul who was appointed by the government as the mediator to resolve the intense labour strikes which paralysed the transport network in 1971 as well as the rest of the Mauritian economy soon afterwards.
He was involved in social work initiatives and support for charitable institutions, such as the Gandhi Breedh Ashram[6] in Petit Raffray.
