Biography

Born in 1864,[1] Toganivalu started his career in 1880 as a clerk in Levuka.[2] In 1888 he joined the civil service as a Native Tax Inspector.[3] He later became the Governor's Matanivanua and a Native Stipendiary Magistrate.[3] He resigned from the civil service in 1927.[3]

On 1 January 1909 Toganivalu became Roko Tui of Bua,[4] a role he held until being succeeded by his grandson George Toganivalu in 1928. During his tenure, Bua gained a reputation as being the best-run and most traditional province of the territory.[2] He became a nominated member of the Legislative Council in 1926,[5] and was awarded an Imperial Service Order in the 1928 Birthday Honours.[3] He resigned from the Legislative Council in 1938 and was replaced by G.W. Lalabalavu.[6] He died in February 1939.[3]
