Tabuya welcomed the election by Kadavu Rugby Union zone representatives, adding she is ready to take up the role.

She says shattering the glass ceiling paves the way for women in the future.

The Minister says she is committed to spearhead the worthy initiative of empowering the youth of Kadavu, especially school’s rugby and women’s rugby and ensuring that the governance structure is secure.
