Tui Macuata Finally laid to Rest

The Government and the people of Fiji join the Vanua of Caumatalevu in Macuata Province , in mourning the passing of its high chief, Na Turaga Nai Taukei Bolatagane Ratu Aisea Cavunailoa Katonivere. Ratu Aisea played a fundamental role in the development of the nation in particular through government's Northern Development Plan. His Chiefly status did not deter him from hearing the views of all Fijians regardless of race, religion or creed.
