Tui Sabeto

Tui Sabeto (Erenavula na Momo Levu na Tui Sabeto) is the traditional title of the Paramount Chief of Sabeto or Betoraurau, a 5-minute drive from the north of Nadi International Airport. The Tui Sabeto exercises chiefly authority over the villages of Koroyaca, Narokorokoyawa, Natalau, Naboutini and Korobebe.

From the five villages consists of 7 yavusa (Tribe) namely Conua (headed by the Tui Sabeto), Leiwavuwavu (the Sauturaga or Kingmakers' Clan), Nasara (the Vunidra), Waruta (the Taukei Natuaniyarawa), Ne (Taukei Narogokoso), Leweikoro, Leweidrasa.

Current Title Holder

The present Tui Sabeto is Ratu Tevita Susu Mataitoga, son of the late Tui Sabeto, Ratu Kaliova Mataitoga who was a Member of the Great Council of Chiefs. The appointment of the Tui Sabeto is now normally carried out by the Mataqali Buasali, not the kingmakers or the Sauturaga as in other traditions.

gollark: No, I mean imply specific rules or at least approximations for "is something in this area or not".

gollark: That seems vaguely defined and may also imply grammar rules still, if significantly weaker ones than usual.

gollark: Thus, is an English sentence valid Lojban because the speakers understand it too?

gollark: I'd expect that a large fraction of Lojban speakers also speak English, though.

gollark: Interesting.
