Ratu Ifereimi Buaserau of the mataqali Valelevu is the official Vunivalu (warlord) of Natewa.

The decision was made by the Native Lands Commission, stirred emotional moments as elders of the vanua of Sovatabua shed tears of joy.

Police presence at the village increased as they patrolled the village lawn while NLC chairman Ratu Sireli Vananalagi Vesikula delivered his decision last Friday.

The second claimant to the chiefly title, Ratu Rakuita Vakalalabure, was not present at the meeting held in the village.

An emotional Ratu Ifereimi described the moment as one that was controlled by God.

Ratu Rakuita was installed earlier this year while Ratu Ifereimi Buaserau was installed in 2014.

Meanwhile the other chiefly title dispute that the NLC will attend to include the Tui Nalolo title in Nadroga.
