Malu o Samoa has won the Foe Sipuni fautasi race, held as part of Samoa’s Independence Day celebrations.

It was a tight race on Wednesday morning between Little Rina of Toamua and Malu o Samoa, a crew made up of police officers and firefighters from Samoa.

Malu o Samoa, led by Junior Vaalotu, came out ahead in a close contest against Little Rina after passing the Vaitele area.

More to come.
