Rabukawaqa Denies Accusations: A Miss South Pacific Islands (2011) contestant, Alisi Rabukawaqa, has spoken out against the Miss Fiji Pageant, alleging a series of unprofessional encounters and unfounded allegations. Rabukawaqa, who served as a personal chaperone for Miss Fiji Dr. Peggy Ravusiro, claims her involvement began after attending meetings as part of the Suva support team. Despite her good intentions, Rabukawaqa faced accusations from the pageant committee before an official meeting, including claims about non-existent contractual agreements with the Suva City Council and assertions that she was not a suitable chaperone. Despite these allegations, she attended the meeting, only to be met with further attacks on her character. Rabukawaqa described the experience as unprofessional and emphasized that her personal support for Dr. Peggy was separate from the pageant committee's approval. The Miss Fiji Pageant Committee has yet to respond to Rabukawaqa's statements, with plans to do so today. This incident raises questions about the professionalism and fairness of the pageant process, inviting further discussion and debate.
