The pastor and one of his sons went on a fishing trip in the Kotu island seas before the incident occurred yesterday, reports said.

Rev ‘Ahoafi was serving the Kotu Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga.

Family and friends of ‘Ahoafi have posted tributes and asking for prayers for his soul.

In 2018 Pastor Fifita, the Chief Minister of the Assembly of God church in Ha’apai, died at sea in Ha’apai while he was fishing with a brother.

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.
