Two new traditional chiefs of the King Takumasiva Aisake chiefdom were installed on Saturday 8 January. Sosefo Tuihoua was born in Futuna 41 years ago. He is the father of two children. He has attained the title of Tuihoua. He is therefore the customary chief of the village of Tepa in the Southern district of Wallis.

The other investiture ceremony took place in the Hahake district.
