Kia ora whanau.
Just want to acknowledge the sad passing of our Captain Hokianga grandfather.
Uncle Nak Hokianga was an integral part of the legendary Hokianga whānau who have been the backbone of MAC for many generations.
We send our aroha and deepest condolences to Bronson and te whānau Hokianga at this sad time.
Moe mai rā i te rangatira. 🔵⚪️💙🙏
He Aituā! He Aituā! 💔
Taku manawa e kakapa nei, e kapakapa ana ki Te Rā, ki ngā Whetū, ki te marama ka tau nei kei te rua.
Kātahi au ka kite i te hē, kātahi au ka kite atu i te mate.
Ko taku Kahutātara tēnā kua riro ki te pae tatau o Hinenuitepō i te marama o Ōhua, 28 o Haratua.
Ka apakura atu koutou e!
Kua hinga te tōtara i te Waonui-a-Tāne, a Taranaki Kapene Hokianga.
