Let the festival begin

Spencer Robinson, Suva

The much anticipated Vodafone Hibiscus Festival 2017, considered as the ‘Mother of all Festivals', has begun.

This annual event is one never to be missed because there are numerous activities, dance showcase, food and other merchandise stalls just to name a few.

However, to others the festival is perhaps a meeting place for friends and families to enjoy what the event has to offer for the week.

It is also a time for students to take the much needed break from the confines of classroom learning.

Apart from this, the high rate of home robberies is prominent especially during the week of the Hibiscus Festival.

The mass movement of people from Nausori to Suva to be part of the annual event provides the opportune time for robbers to strike their homes.

Hence, it is advisable that our homes and flats are not abandoned to these nocturnal robbers but for some family members to be at home for the purpose of security.

It's better to have turns attending the event then to have our homes and flats robbed. Let us all have a great week ahead while at the same time being vigilant and responsible citizens ensuring that we have civic pride by

not littering our environment.
