ROAD infrastructure development remains Small Malaita Constituency’s top priority, Constituency Development Officer (CDO) Brown Honimae has stated.

ASSISTANT Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mesake Waqa has confirmed that two suspects have been identified in investigations on member of Parliament Lynda Tabuya’s explicit video which went viral on social media in late December 2024. The video was leaked to various groups on Facebook in December and also sent to Ms Tabuya’s senior male counterparts in The People’s Alliance Party (PA).

Because even though she did not leak the video, Ms Tabuya not only lost her ministerial portfolio as Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, but she also faced public ridicule for something that was not of her...

A company in the USA led by a Fijian has plans to start an Airbnb business in Maui, Sigatoka. Divine Fijian Group (DFG) chief executive officer, Poasa Koroitamana presented their plan to Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka in the USA. The property will feature six double story buildings including a reception area, a restaurant and 20 two-bedroom apartments. “We want to give back to the Fiji economy by creating opportunities like this,” said Mr Koroitamana. “Fijians are natural caregivers; it is in our blood. We want people overseas to experience our level of care.” He said their aim was to make Fiji the ultimate destination for Americans considering retirement, especially given the growing reputation of Fijian caregivers in the care industry.
