Bulou
Salote Vavaitamana (died 4 December 2005) was a chief
in a village of Kadavu Island. In 1979, she succeeded her uncle, Ratu ilitomasi Verenakadavu, as Tui Vabea, or Chief of Vabea, becoming the first female chief in the village. She was chosen despite being only the third eldest of five sisters and a brother.
Vavaitamana, who was in her 80s, died at Colonial War Memorial Hospital on 4 December 2005, after collapsing while delivering an address at a village function at Nabua
the day before. She is to be buried at the Sautabu o' Nakoroicake chiefly burial ground in her home village of Vabea.
She was taken to her chiefly burial ground by the Roko Tui Dreketi Ro Teimumu Kepa as she was very closely related to the Burebasaga Paramount and had very close ties to the Tuisawau Family that rules over Burebasaga.
She was remembered as a caring and strong-willed person.
