The Samoan PM's salsa class

Samoa's first woman Prime Minister, Fiame Naomi Mata'afa, has always benefited from the support of a tight-knit group of girlfriends.

They encouraged her to run for high office and helped with her campaign.

They still discuss the country's problems and give advice.

But they also help her relax, meeting for drinks or meals, or - as here - enjoying a salsa class.
