Wife sends love online after Tongan fruit picker hospitalised

Kaniva News reports Heneli Tupou of Tatakamotonga was in New Zealand as an employee under the RSE programme.

He was admitted to a Nelson hospital, his wife ʻAsinate Tupou has confirmed.

She said Heneli was sick and they were awaiting his medical examination result.

We understand Heneli was in a serious condition.

ʻAsinate, who told Kaniva News she only used Facebook as means of communication, desperately encouraged her husband on Facebook.
