Biography

ʻEnele Maʻafuʻotuʻitonga, commonly known as Maʻafu, (c. 1816 – 6 February 1881) was a Pacific islander who held important titles in two countries in the Pacific. He was a traditional Tongan Prince and a Fijian chief bestowed the title 'Tui Lau' in 1869 by the Turaga Tui Nayau with the support of the Vuanirewa Household. This title was ratified by a wider council of Fijian chiefs and subsequently formalised under British colonial administration.

In 1847, Maʻafu went to Fiji in an expedition to Vanua Balavu to investigate the killing of a preacher.
