Newly elected SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka and Deputy Leader Filimoni Vosarogo say they believe that their different constituencies will deliver them the votes to win the 2022 general elections.

This comes after Fijivillage asked them if they were confident to bring in the same amount of votes as the former leader Sitiveni Rabuka in the last elections.

Gavoka says they will not be having national candidates as it has caused a lot of duplication in their efforts.

PM IS GULTY OF BOTH RACISM & HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE BY TERMINATING GCC - WE MUST UNDO THE ABUSE & RACIST ACT OF THE PM.
Town House Suva 17:11:2020

The FBC News, at 8:10 am yesterday , reported the PM saying , " There is no need to bring the Great Council of Chiefs back because it has been politicized."

The full extract of the FBC report , under its journalist Sainiana Boila, reported as follows :

" No need to reinstate the GCC: PM

There is no need to bring the Great Council of Chiefs back because it has been politicized.

Speaking during the Radio Fiji One “Na Noda Paraiminisita” Programme, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the reinstatement of the GCC will only draw us back.

Bainimarama says members of the Great Council of Chiefs were the very ones who supported the coup in 1987 and this was against the vision to bring about peace in Fiji.

“Some say the Bose Levu Vakaturaga brings about peace and prosperity, no, they were behind the 1987 and the 2000 coup. They cannot see the right path to take because it has politics.”

He says the Bose Levu Vakaturaga was against most of the government’s decision especially the aim to call everyone a Fijian.

“The thought of abolishing the Bose Levu Vakaturaga came about when it went against most of the governments work in moving the country forward. This includes being a multiracial country and calling everyone in Fiji a Fijian. It was also a major challenge in the work to lift the standards of i-Taukei people, their projects and other work they are involved in.”

Bainimarama says some of the members of the GCC have their own agenda.

“The government works to equally share lease money, some of the members of the Bose Levu Vakaturaga disagree because they want a large portion for themselves. These are some of the reasons why it has been abolished, not to keep us going back.”

The Great Council of Chiefs was established in 1876 and was suspended by the Bainimarama government in April 2007."

I think it is very sad indeed for the PM to be saying all that. It is also totally unfair and unethical for FBC to be reporting that statement without airing an alternative view to give balance to the report.

Irrespective of whether PM was used by Hon Kaiyum to further his sunset clause policy or whether he did so out of personal spite, the PM cannot escape the fact the termination of the GCC was a racist act and an abuse of the Group Human Rights of Indigenous Taukei.

The Human Rights Committee For The Elimination Of All Forms Of Racial Discrimination ( CERD ) had rightfully concluded on 16:8:2012 at its 81st Session in Geneva that the termination of GCC by law by our PM was a racist act because its motive was to deny native Fijians their Human Rights, to maintain their cultural institution, on the basis of their race and ethnicity as ITaukei.

The Group Human Rights of Indigenous People, like Taukei , to maintain their cultural institution , like the GCC, is established by two UN Instruments , namely the International Labour Organisation Convention 169 (ILOC169) and the UN Declaration Of The Rights Of Indigenous People (UNDRIP)

if you been following Parliamentary Debates on this topic , you will hear PM & Hon Kaiyum arguing Fiji does not qualify to be considered under ILOC169 & UNDRIP. They also argue ITaukei are not indeginous and the GCC is a colonial invention. All shallow arguements that dont hold water.

But the truth in my view is that the PM is guilty of both Racism and Group Human Rights Abuse by his act of terminating by law the GCC. No ammount of explaining by him can deny those facts. We must all undo that abuse.

Tribute to Mr. Kolinio Rainima Meo (Koronivoce, Turaga na Vunivalu; Yavusa Nautosolo, Cakaudrove, Vanua Levu)

The Chairman, Trustees and Members of Na Yavutu Foundation express their deep sadness at the passing of Mr. Kolinio Meo.

Mr. Meo was a member of Na Yavutu Working Committee. He contributed greatly to key policies and development strategies of Yavutu. He was full of knowledge and passionately shared what he knew. He faithfully published Na Yavutu’s Itakitaki/Bulago on social media each day for the benefit of everyone. Mr. Meo served with the greatest commitment and conviction to do the best he could for the best interests of his people.

Mr. Meo will be truly missed and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace.

Prophecies and Na Yavutu Trust Understanding

Fijians have always believed in ancient chants of prophecies that suggest good times for Fiji when the indigenous government returns to hold power in Fiji, prophecies of a great REVIVAL that would signify the time of the fulfilment of the return of the indigenous race and other chants and or prophecies that have actually pointed and named leaders in the past, even before they were born. The ‘Na Yavutu’ Trust claims that the only revival we must act upon is our return to the original cultural values.

Avolosi Ralawaki Nawai Business Success Story & Threat

Mr. Suliasi Kalounisiga Tamanalevu discusses study he carried out in 2012, regarding Avolosi R. Nawai of Narewa Village in Nadi, Fiji; the story of an early business venture of an indigenous Fijian company (Viti Kabani) from 1915 to 1945 when Avolosi Nawai advanced our social economy through 'Sosolevaki' and proved successful in the export of Banana from Fiji. This is a motivating story to remind us that nothing is impossible when there is unity.
