Answer:
Mauritius is not listed as a visa-requiring country for visiting UK. (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/doineedvisa/visadatvnationals ) Mauritius citizens can enter and visit UK up to maximum of 6 month without any visa. (http://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?SpecData=1&VISA=&HEALTH=&page=both&NA=MU&AR=00&DE=GB&VT=CH&EM=CH&PASSTYPES=PASS&user=SKYWEB&subuser=SKYWEB1 ) However, given that he requires visa to be in Switzerland, make sure that his current visa allows him to enter the country more than once (meaning, to check that his current visa is a multiple entry visa) or he may find himself stuck in UK and unable to get back in to Switzerland until he applies for a new visa. Switzerland is now in the Schengen but UK is not.

The Swiss visa wont count for the UK Border Agency they will only be interested if your boyfriend in whether he is eligible to enter under a Mauritius passport or has the appropriate visa issued by the UK. I looked and Mauritius allows UK passport holders to visit without a visa and that normally means the reverse is true and the UK will allow him to visit without a visa. To check get your boyfriend to try the link below. That will tell him exactly what the requirements if anything are.

xalynn has basically said it all. I just want to add that your friend needs to get a flight since he cannot do ground travel with a Switzerland tourist visa. Although Switzerland applies to the Schengen procedures effective today and Schengen visa are valid for Switzerland, the visa issued by Switzerland before that date are still national visa which do not allow to travel through other Schengen countries like Germany and France.
