Mauritius Citizenship & Passport

Hi,
I am 36 years old, and my mother is from Mauritius. At the time she was married in the UK having moved over at about 20 years old. She is a Mauritian national.
I understand that I qualify for Mauritian citizenship by descent - is this correct?
If so, I understand I can get a Mauritian passport also.
I intend to call the Mauritian Embassy, and Mauritian High Commission to find out if this is true, but does anyone have recent experience of this?
Cheers! 
Yes you do qualify if I understand correctly but you will need your Mauritian ID card first I think

Your mother has to prove her Mauritian citizenship first (thus applying for her Mauritian NID card ) before you can use her papers ( Birth Certificate , NID and all the other requirements you can find on the Mauritian Govt site for citizenship) within 3 months IIRC to apply for your Mauritian citizenship ( to be done on the island - not long distance) after which you can apply for the passport
