Francis Hagai (c.1940-1974), cult leader, was born about 1940 at Hahalis, Buka Island, Bougainville district, in the mandated Territory of New Guinea. He completed primary level schooling at St Joseph's, Rigu, and one year of teacher-training for Catholic schools. There was no government school in Buka and Hagai became contemptuous of the Church's failure to provide utilitarian education. He apostatized after allegedly being shamed publicly by a confessor for a sexual sin. Tall, athletic, practical and commanding, Hagai was a militant lieutenant (from 1960) to the visionary president of the Hahalis Welfare Society, 'King' John Teosin, whose sister Magdalena Hapius he married. Hagai was a manager-secretary of the H.W.S. in 1962 and later vice-president.
