Naʻe tui ʻa ʻEletā Veni Paulo Sitenifila ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ko e hoko-noa-pē. ʻOkú ne tui ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi fetaulakiʻanga ʻi he moʻuí ni, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kakaí ʻi ha taumuʻa pea ʻe lava ke ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻEne fānaú ke nau faitāpuekina ha niʻihi kehe.

ʻOku fiefia ʻa ʻEletā Sitenifila he tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi he ongoongoleleí, tautautefito ki he ngāue fakatāutaha mo e kakaí.

Naʻe fāʻeleʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho 8 ʻo ʻAokosi 1957, kia Seti mo Peki Sitenifila, pea naʻá ne tupuhake ʻi ha faama pulu ofi ki Tauniseni, Monitana.
