An inspiring week It's been an inspiring journey, says newly crowned 2015 Hibiscus King Tevita Tobeiyani sponsored by Apco Coatings It’s been an inspiring journey, says newly crowned 2015 Vodafone Hibiscus Festival King Tevita Tobeiyani. The young man, representing Apco Coatings, made the comment after being crowned by Vodafone Fiji’s general manager sales and marketing Rajnesh Prasad last Saturday evening. “Throughout the week it’s been a really an inspiring journey and I just wanted to get the message across during this year’s Hibiscus Festival,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed and thankful to God for everything He has done. He said he didn’t expect to win the King’s crown but was thankful for the blessing. “I dedicate this win to my family especially my parents, my sponsor Apco Coatings, my family of king contestants and my co-ordinator. “Being a contestant for me is going through so much hard work, last minute decisions, hassles and it takes so much guts and patience to get through what you need to do being a contestant,” he said. He said his message to the people during Hibiscus week was good self-esteem; to know their value in society. Meanwhile, the first runner-up was Mr Trendy Fashion Timoci Tupua and the second runner-up was claimed by Mr Lei Entertainer’s Ashnil Sharma.
