As we look forward to the installation of the Sau ni Vanua ko Lau, na Tui Lau, a delegation from the 14 provinces is making its way to visit the Tui Nayau at his residence in the village of Tubou, Lakeba.

Today, a full rehearsal will take place with the warriors and all those who will be participating in tomorrow’s installation ceremony.

After 62 years, we will witness the installation of the Tui Lau.

The ceremony for the installation of the Tui Lau and Sau ni Vanua ko Lau will be held tomorrow.

King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipau’u of the Kingdom of Tonga will be attending the installation, highlighting the close ties between Lau and Tonga.
