He's been in hospital in Cape Town since breaking his leg during the second round of the World Sevens series, but his coach Damian McGrath is optimistic that he won't be there too much longer.

A task force has agreed the main areas to be covered in the deal are the trade in goods and services, investment and labour.

It offers us hope and redemption.
Cardinal Neumann wrote a poem about our yearning for light and redemption; a kindly leading light that can lead us, as he says, out of “encircling gloom”; that can lead us on even when “the night is dark” and when we are “far from home”, guiding us back safely, one step at a time.
In his own words the Cardinal said: “Keep thou my feet I do not ask to see / The distant scene – one step enough for me”.

The resort will also introduce a complimentary mini bar, nightly turndown service and new high-end bathroom amenities.

To celebrate, guests who stay at Seabreeze Resort between April 1 and June 30 next year for a minimum of five nights will receive two 30-minute massages per person, champagne breakfast daily and one-way arrival transfers for two people.

Egon Keil says 148 guns have been turned in, including 22 shotguns, 11 assault rifles, as well as handguns and other firearms.

Keil says the assault weapons which have been turned in are the type used in recent terrorist attacks in Paris, which are illegal in Samoa.

For them, Christmas is all about the presents and having fun outside, it is unusual for Christmas to be spent in the hospital. The phenomenal lesson to all of us is that with this visit, it is a leveler for the children, with the Christmas presents, they will not be thought of by the other kids’ as the ones that missed out on Christmas.

That is the bottom-line achievement by Miss Samoa, Alofa Dawn Latafale Auva’a at the 2015 Miss World competition.

The officers have been suspended on full pay to await a court appearance.

The Police Commissioner, Egon Keil, says there are several other charges laid against the suspended officers.
