IN the 1960s, a few decades after Suva’s early transformation as the new capital, one of Thomson Street’s businessmen was engaged in daily pigeon feeding, an amazing act of kindness he did for over 15 years.
According to The Fiji Times of July 4 1964, one day Ratanji Jogia, 70, discovered that 11 of the pigeons he fed daily had been run over by a car.
The death of his “faithful friends” struck him with deep sadness.
“That driver has no heart,” Mr Jogia lamented.
