A carpenter by trade, Tony is our resident baby-sitter, handiman, contractor, sub-contractor, consultant and general good-guy.
He says, “No speak da English” but that doesn’t matter, his wife Tara translates. Oh so N-O-W you know how he got onto the team! Again, it’s who you know in Samoa – not what you know eh? Well done Tony – you’re onto it!
UPDATE: Masetoni left the employ of SWAP under a cloud and has been jointly charged with her wife by Samoa Police with “Theft as a servant; $39,000.00 equipment”.
UPDATE: On 20October 2011, Masetoni pleaded guilty in the High Court of Samoa to Theft As A Servant, $5,230.00 (WST).
