While congratulations are due to Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi and Dr Sitiveni Ratuka who are to take up overseas appointments shortly, their "on site" clear thinking will be a loss to Fiji at this (apparently never ending) critical time.
Rt Joni, former Vice-President, former High Court judge and a prominent lawyer, has a 15-month (plus a possible further 9) appointment to the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Honiara -- an experience that should prove useful in Fiji!
USP's Dr Ratuva, the Pacific's foremost political sociologist and a long-time commentator and columnist on Fiji's politics, has accepted a secondment at the University of Auckland. We look forward to seeing him being interviewed by NZTV and the Maori TV soon! His Fiji: Multiple Battlelines: Who is Winning? feature is a "must," as is Ratu Joni's "Fiji in 2001".
