"Luve ni kaisi, luvata nomu i vava ni o taubale e noqu darata." Viseisei villagers angry with Bainimarama roaming in their village in shorts and sandals as guest of lackey Ratu Tevita Momoedonu collecting signatures

The visit to Viseisei, Vuda, by Voreqe Bainimarama and his campaign crew out to collect signatures for his party has angered some villagers for their complete disregard of village protocol while on a stopover. Some villagers openly criticized the entourage for showing no respect to village protocols especially Bainimarama himself.

Bainimarama was spotted wearing shorts and sandals in the village green on his way to the Chiefly bure of Vunisei. A villager who wished to remain anonymous said that never in the history of their existence has a Government leader show complete disrespect to village protocol walking around the village with shorts, let alone entering the chiefly residence with the kind of dress he was wearing.

"Even tourists that visit our village know what to wear when they come on village tours", she said. She was so furious that she labelled Bainimarama as a "Kaisi" walking around the village with his sandals and shorts. "Luve ni kaisi, luvata nomu i vava ni o taubale e noqu darata", she said with anger. How dare he comes into my village with his circus team disregarding Village protocols.?

His Fiji First campaign bus, taxi and other vehicles all drove into the village green and parked infront of the church.

Bainimarama walked into the Chiefly House and sat during the welcome ceremony with his shorts and he was seen later leaving the bure with the sandals in his hands. Some members of his campaign team were also seen to be wearing long pants and shorts, breaching the village's dress code during their short stay. Source: Kacivaka Na Dina.

"Kaisi" stroll! Like his treasonous coup and disregard of the Fiji Court of Appeal ruling, Bainimarama strolls through the village green in complete disregard for village protocol

@ Rusi....In the chiefly village of Viseisei, there is total respect of how you talk, how you dress, how you greet, how you live your daily life etc....you wouldn't even begin to realize the depth of your question if your village is no where near it....it speaks much from where you come from!!
i undertand you.....because you are bought up in an era,background, and dela-ni-yavu where YOUR traditions are slipping right through your fingers and you don't give two firetrucks about it........unlike this village sir, the culture and traditions of the Fijian race runs thick in your blood and the forefathers make it their business to pass it on........because of respect, this village has produced four statesmen that have served as Prime Minister, Vice-President and President........the villagers are groomed to become leaders......qele tabu?????.....

Our culture will be lost if we do not continue to carry out our traditional protocols it does not matter how powerful you are in the world. Without these things in place we are nothing. Western society modelled these thoughts when they landed in Fiji if we accept these western practices as our own what then happens to Fijian culture. It goes without question, as a leader it is vital to set a positive example to strengthen community ties with villages.

Western society modelled these thoughts since when they first landed in Fiji if we accept these western practices as our own what then happens to Fijian culture. It goes without question, as a leader it is vital to set a positive example to strengthen community ties with villages.These rules were not set out for only villages to follow but for everyone who comes onto the land. It does come back to what de define as acceptable and not acceptable through modern eyes? Dilution if ones culture can lead to extinction in viewing it on a long term scale.

As the PM of this country (Elected or not) and being an iTaukei himself, Mr Bainimarama should know better. Visitors to this chiefly village are accorded the outmost respect by the villagers and the same level of respect must be relayed by the visitor. Mr Bainimarama should be ashamed of himself for this utter disregard of traditional protocol. So much for putting 'Fiji First'!
