Survivor

Velma Ninjipa and her dad were travelling back after a youth camp on the night of Good Friday, March 30^th, when they were attacked in an attempted carjacking at the Winzu Lodge carpark, Boroko. 

While her father escaped without any serious injuries, Velma was shot in the face and now remains in critical condition at PIH.

She has a broken jaw and shattered teeth.

The 34-year-old Southern Highlands woman has undergone her first facial surgery from which two pellets were removed from her right cheek.

Producers of the show aim to film at least two seasons of the popular reality show in the Province and hope to begin production in June.

Minister Tammur said a meeting will be held next week with the producers to move forward plans of the production.

“And we have already collaborated with the guys in the US who are in Sydney, who we will meet next week when they come over,” said the Minister.

The office believes Survivor is massive in terms of the exposure for the province as well as the country and has expressed its support.

“We are excited about bringing Survivor here and we will do everything to ensure that nothing stands in the way of allowing Survivor to run their programs,” CEO Gard M Renson told Loop PNG.

ENBTA has reached common grounds in its strive to lock arrangements for Survivor to be in Kokopo, which will be the preferred base.
