Almost 23 years on, the leader of Fiji’s first coup Sitiveni Rabuka yesterday went to Viseisei village to visit the late Doctor Timoci Bavadra’s family and the Tui Vuda Ratu Josefa Iloilo.

The main reason for Rabuka’s visit was to admit to the Bavadra family and those connected to the family at the village that he had done wrong to the family during the 1987 coup.

Rabuka on May 14th 1987 removed the late Doctor Bavadra and his government from office.

Rabuka said he has decided to go in this direction after realizing that he had done wrong things from 1987.

He believed that justice finally kicked in for him when the soldiers came and took his government 4-wheel-drive vehicle and his Prime Minister’s pension was scrapped earlier this year.
