Polikalepo Kolivai (born ~1939)[1] was crowned as sau (translated by the French as "king") of Sigave in July 2010.[2] His appointment was not recognised by other clans,[1] and he was recognised by only a few villages before retiring.[3] When Eufenio Takala was crowned in 2016 the throne was said to have been vacant for seven years.[4]
