Governor for Gulf, Chris Haiveta was greeted by dancers from Luluapo along the Popo River, Kerema, who were celebrating the opening of a long-awaited church building.
The jubilant hosts carried their leader on a makeshift chair from the chopper to the new church building. A few minutes later, local Member of Parliament, Thomas Opa arrived in a speedboat on the Popo River.
Arriving at the Kapore Bridge, leis were put on the MP’s neck, while dancers hoisted him onto a platform and carried him to the church building while singing and dancing.
