BENCHMARK

Top marks to American Samoa’s Legislative Assembly for continuing to demand accountability over the Kite Runner saga from their civil servants!

SAFETY

At some point, local authorities will need to make a call on the use of Samoa’s iconic wooden public transport buses for the sake of public safety.

PRAYERS

Thoughts and prayers with the families of the four passengers from the Malifa bus crash who are currently in critical condition at the national hospital. 

TEMPLE

Top marks to see one of Samoa’s leading churches the LDS announce plans to build a temple in Savai’i. Reminds: what’s good for Upolu is good for Savai’i. 

TONGA

A fact from the current RWC in France: Tonga has become the first team to score more than 1 try against the champion side South Africa. That’s a brave effort.

TOA BOYS

A historical feat for the Toa Samoa boys currently with Penrith Panthers in the Australian NRL. Getting their third premiership on Sunday night, the first time in 40 years!
