The arrival of a tanker with petrol in Vavaʻu on Saturday 26 brought smiles to the faces of drivers and motor users.
MV Leiloa arrived in Vava’u with six tanktainers of fuel.
“Each tanktainer contains 23,000 litres of fuel, and there were two of diesel and four of petrol”, Matangi Tonga reported.
Customers were told to buy the petrol from Small Industries at Kameli for $2.99 per litre.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
