"Rugby league provides our cultural adrenalin. It's a physical manifestation of our rules of life, comradeship, honest endeavour, and a staunch, often ponderous allegiance to fair play.”

Owner of the famous 'Make Use Investment' in Mendi Mr. Solomon Timbol, popularly known in the province as 'Make Use Mangi' has passed away.

Mendi have few Entrepreneurs who built their wealth up from scratch, such as collecting and selling tin cans, buai smoke, agriculture and farming.

Without formal education, these guys made their way up from nothing by being committed to SAVE whatever little they make, which accumulated up to bigger fortunes and later they became leaders, employers and the main mechanism of monetary circulation in our local economy.

These local business man has been pillars of our local economy in Mendi Town for decades since they ventured into business and are popular all across the province. Most famously known are three guys in the likes of Garry Local Kulangil (Local Trading), Mark Tombos(Dust Mangi), Solomon Timbol (Make Use Mangi) and a few more to name.

The fall of Garry Kulangil was a huge loss in the business space of Mendi town, and now the sudden passing of late Solomon Timbol leaves a even bigger space to fill.

These guys are gone, but their legacies will always be retold for generations in Mendi town.

I convey my sincere condolences to immediate tribesmen, family members, and wife who was also my English Teacher in Mendi Secondary School Miss. Nicole Alkend, in this great time of sorrow and despair.

May God Grant you all peace of mind as we mourn the loss of a pillar and leader who left us into eternity.

Rest in Eternal Peace 'Make Use Mangi', your name lives forever in our small four kona town, Murumbu Oma.
