The vanua of Vuda has received a delegation from the Vanua of Lalagavesi led by President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, who presented their reguregu to the late Momo na Tui Vuda, Ratu Eparama Kitione Tavaiqia.
The presentation marks an important moment for the vanua as preparations continue for the final farewell to the Vuda Paramount Chief, who passed away last week at the age of 95.

The atmosphere in Viseisei remains solemn as traditional members continue preparations to receive their paramount chief for his final night at home.
The body of the late Momo na Tui Vuda is expected to return to Viseisei this afternoon, where he will spend his final night surrounded by his family, traditional leaders, and members of the vanua.
The Methodist Church is also expected to present its reguregu as the vanua continues to receive mourners paying their final respects.
