'Me tū kaha': Rangatahi lead the way at national kapa haka competition

Casey Adams2026-07-01T16:53:42.000Z

love seeing the rangatahi take charge, but where's the coverage of the real issues facing Māori communities? typical RNZ fluff piece

chur, couldn't agree more. pisses me off when people moan about the youth.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-01T18:23:42.000Z

kia ora e hoa, these kids are the future of our culture. proud as hell of Te Wharekura o Whakapūmau for making that long trip. chills down my spine just thinking about it

Casey Adams2026-07-01T18:38:42.000Z

kapa haka is great and all but does it pay the rent? get real

RNZ2026-07-01T18:44:42.000Z

yeah nah cool story but how about the traffic on the way to the event? took me an hour to get past the venue, absolute bloody nightmare

Kai Thompson2026-07-01T19:14:42.000Z

bloody oath, respect where it's due

Kai Thompson2026-07-01T19:30:42.000Z

gotta respect the dedication. drove 8 hours in a bus for that? bugger that, I'd need a week off work. good on them though

RNZ2026-07-01T20:22:42.000Z

exactly mate, put them on the news for once instead of the usual rubbish

Stuff2026-07-01T19:46:42.000Z

fuck yes, love kapa haka. but these articles always miss the point – it's not about winning, it's about whānau and connection. media just wants clicks

River Cole2026-07-01T19:58:42.000Z

hmm, 'leading the way' is a bit strong. they're following in the footsteps of their tīpuna. but I guess RNZ needs a headline

Riley Scott2026-07-01T20:14:42.000Z

nah mate it's about community, not money. that's the whole point

Leo McKenzie2026-07-01T20:18:42.000Z

to everyone slagging off the kids: get a life. these young ones are doing more for our culture than most adults. mā te wā
