Dont be surprised if fautasi race is on again

fautasi-trio

While a meeting of fautasi captains last week decided that there will be no fautasi race for Flag Day this year, Secretary of Samoan Affairs Mauga Tasi Asuega is convening another meeting this morning to discuss the long boat race.

The meeting is being held at 10 o’clock at the Samoan Affairs conference room.

Last week,  fautasi captains were in agreement that in consideration of the impact of Cyclone Gita on villages and that families need to recover and rebuild what was damaged, the fautasi race will be cancelled for this year’s Flag Day.

A source said that there may be a change of plans but a final decision will be made at this morning’s meeting.
