Tribal Commotion On

WHAT Elizabethan dramatists would have described as “alarums and excursions occurred at the Port Moresby golf course in July, when about 180 Kerema and Chimbu rioters fought a vicious battle on the sixth green.

Sixty golfers playing in a four somes championship were held up for an hour before the police, aided by club members, quelled the uproar.

The P-NG Administrator (Brigadier D. M. Cleland) was re ported later to have said that he was taking steps to remove Kerema people from the Port Moresby area.
