Family mourns the sudden passing of 'Ranadi Kei Viti'

37-year-old Esala Seru Yalewamama’s family is trying to come to terms after the sudden passing of their eldest member, best known as 'Ranadi Kei Viti' on facebook and TikTok.

It is alleged that bullying on social media led to Yalewamama taking their own life.

While speaking to fijivillage News Yalewamama's younger brother, Mosese Natuba says they were not aware that Yalewamama had been going through issues.

He says he saw a post about Yalewamama on a popular facebook page that has now been removed, alleging that Yalewamama had used someone else’s money meant for something else.

Natuba says since Monday night, he began to feel that Yalewamama was going through something because Yalewamama kept going in and out of the house while they were sleeping at night.

He says he did not ask Yalewamama about the post because he knew Yalewamama would manage the issue.

Natuba says Yalewamama was the kind of person who never appeared as a loser on TikTok and Facebook, and when he saw the post on the facebook page, he thought Yalewamama would solve the issues.

He says that on Thursday morning he was at home with his wife, children and it was his mother who discovered Yalewamama’s body.

Yalewamama was the eldest of four siblings.

Natuba says Yalewamama will be laid to rest at the Nasinu Cemetery on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, police investigations are continuing.

The Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission has filed a complaint with the Police and the Online Safety Commission.
