King Tupou IV opened a new fitness centre at Haveluloto on August 13. Called ‘Inga Health and Fitness Gym, it is a business venture of Va‘inga Tuigamala, the former All Black winger, who turned professional and is now playing for the Manu Samoa. The gym has been set up in a renovated village hall.
‘Inga who is part-Tongan and is married to a Tongan did not want to put a figure on his investment, but his trainer, Etu Kirifi, said the amount, "would be very glaring for Tongans."
