Hard!!
I’m a resident of Wairoa and I see the potential in these young lads and others like them. It’s beautiful to see our people portrayed in a positive light, changing the story. Thank you! In essence Maori are a loving people who feel and care for each other and nature. Feel from the heart and the Divine will lead the way… 😍🙏🏼❤️✨
Tika tāu whaea, we are exactly that, loving and caring for others, it's in our tīkanga kawa❤
@@kri-m19 Im a pakeha boy from Napier, have friends and family in wairoa, why I appreciate and respect Maori so much is cos you guys have just the biggest hearts eh and its a beautiful thing!

I've always found these small neglected towns to be the roughest. And There all scattered across the east coast or northland.
Its north island my bro
@@MrMaxpimp there's a region in the north of north island called Northland
Yea ok I will look into that
Havent u heard of northland
And things will only get worse for the east coast.
Born and bred in Wairoa, it's hard to see the negative when everyone is your whanau.
I went to Wairoa to volunteer building services and help people get on their feet for 4 months after the floods down around North Clyde. Love that town. Never had any problems.the council could do with a kick up the arse though. Great work guys.
Heard all about the council down there
Kia ora Damian! Was awesome to meet you doing the mahi after the floods. Thank you for everything you did for the whanau of Wairoa, bro x
@@ranellnikora48 you are awesome too. Once again co-ordinating civil defence from Gisborne not Wairoa.
Taking the time,making the effort changing lives for the better thats what Ranell did and does guys. If you need a wahine to look up to,look no further.
Alex Walker and I.went to
Wairoa at the time when we were invited to do the
CYCLONE GABRIELLE ..
We enjoyed ourselves in
Wairoa..
Even though we did our part in helping the people
Of Wairoa
We also did THE ANIMAL and WILDLIFE PROTECTION which help People get what their.Pets
Went through during CYCLONE GABRIELLE
The Council and The Police were Awesome
They helped us a lot
At that time, we ourselves
Seen the Devastation that
CYCLONE GABRIELLE and
We felt the pain.that the
Township went through
I even showed this on Facebook as Proof
The people of Wairoa
Are so Awesome and
While we were there
We felt so Appreciated
Just to let the people of
WAIROA know
We are also MAORI WARDENS as well as
MAORI HEALERS
To tell you the truth
I love going to WAIROA
And one day
Alex Walker and I must
Come back
We actually fell in love with
WAIROA
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME
Always a good watch Dave...
I was born in & grew up in Sydney around Rockdale Banksia Hurstville Bexley until 16yo and then moved to Tauranga in 1999 and was there 20yrs ... Id love to see you cover all of Tauranga from Welcome Bay-outbacks ,Hairini, Ohouiti Waimapu... Merrivale greerton ..... brookfield judea Bethlehem mount arataki papamoa and Te puke maketu ...💯🖤👊
lived in sydyney 1999-2007 worked for my mate in his furniture shop princess highway in rockdale, new zealand is quite tame compared to the big smoke in my experiences anyway
This inspired me to change my ways. Thank you so much!
Neat mahi bro, thankyou for making this podcast. Mean mahi Waka to much bro I wish you nothing but happiness and success on your journey.
I know a couple of heavy brothers from here that I met in Sydney in the '80's. Very hard lads. Not for the feint hearted. One became a Christian and recently passed away recently.
80s in Sydney was more ruthless then most realise it never got better it just grew ...
Is the one who passed aways name debden ?
@@tipiwhenuatanirau8105 do you mean a guy called Deb wife Sarah son Caleb
@@danrowlands3705 yep, I that's my whanau.
@@danrowlands3705 Twin's Debden and Raynor
Awesome Brothers and an amazing watch, thank you for bringing this story tonight and to see changed men changing lives in there community and across the motu, Kia Ora TFS keep up the blessed mahi, Mauri Ora.
Good to see these fullahs change their lives and become solid leaders for the younger generation. 🙏🏽❤️💯
Not sure if anyone noticed how nice all the properties are and lawns are cared for and maintained other than some parts in the US where small towns like this are neglected...
1LOVE TO NZ especially the boys in Wairoa making a positive change to your beautiful town
Best Episode by far this bratha waka is a true testimony to lost boys finding the real men in themselfs and with the lord guiding him a negative past life has turned into a positive future stay blessed and our father jesus christ look over these 2 men changing the narratives for the better of there community💯🙏🙌
Grew up in Chamberlain Ave in the 70s and 80s so know some history of the gang tensions, sad to see the township looks worse in your video, haven’t been home for 5 years, mum still lives there and my ancestors buried everywhere. Great to see some initiatives taking place but you have to keep grinding away cause life takes over and things get tough, people disagree or lose their goals so keep doing what you’re trying to achieve and good luck.
It mite look worse because of the flood, it was looking pretty good before the cyclone.
I was recently considering re.emmigrating to n.z for my retirement. Hawke.s bay area. Beautiful country. Lovely rivers.
Miss the hanghis.interesting programme.
Yayaay, Hamilton is where I met the bro Waka 🙏 awsm to see where the bros are nowadays 🙌 another massive vlog done well my bro Dave 👌
Get these young ones back into boxing boxing was a big thing in wairoa
So many talented young ones let them shine thru❤❤❤
I grew up in frasertown just north of wairoa over the bridge. Had a very close uncle of mine killed back in 05 due to the gang wars. It was quite sad really because we are all whanau but Color’s takeover sometimes. Wairoa will always be home!
I used to live at the bottom of Carroll St. It was cool living there.
As an outsider about to move to New Zealand this is truly inspiring to see. Thank you for showing this story and thank you to all the people involved. Keep it up!
Brother u got a great series here. .. be interesting to see some south island hoods as well as up far north.
Too much for doing this bro. Born and raised in Wairoa and roamed these streets as a kid, so i love this.
I remember me and my cousin walking back from town carrying alcohol through that alley 1 night, and 1 house had a rottweiler. As we walked past, the rotty growled and started chasing us so we ran like f**k. The cuz said the dog was right on his ass and he was ready to throw the box of steinys😂
Well done to these bros for making big change, because that is hard. But i see the things that helped them change their mind-set was Maoritanga and God. So Kia Ora God Bless you all
Its good to see someone show the positives of what Bronson and whanau are doing for our community and people. You dont know until you get in their and tautoko and take part yourself to see the good they are trying to do. Not all people who wear a patch are bad people 💯
Couldn't of said it any better ❤
Luvin the videos brutha, should hit it up in Murupara bro. Just like Flaxmere, Hastings and Wairoa bro. Another mean town with alot of history. Chur mai bro
May Elohim continue to bring Healing,Deliverance,Salvation, Serenity 🙏💖🔥
Praise God brothers 💖🙏🔥
@@Angelathompson541 Amen!
Chur bro John here from the mighty wanganui. Wow that was powerful great watch. You need to come here
Hearty brutha Waka and bronny big changes for home luv the kaupapa you both are doing keep it up bruthaz
Noticing all the houses they have walked & driven past in the background, all their lawns are freshly mowed and well kept. Looks good.
Gang wars and shootings aside Wairoa is a beautiful place
Loved the kaupapa from the brother and the massive changes and message he and his brothers are trying to achieve. The part that stood out for me was when he said we can get along inside we need to learn to get along out here where it counts. That type of korero stops wars! Mean whanua mean.
I stayed up in wairoa for a few months back in 2005 to help break in some wild horses and i absolutely loved it.
Being a white girl from chch i felt hard out of place @ first, but the people were all so warm and welcoming to me & i felt right at home by the time i left....i come from a bike club/gang family and i grew up in state care etc so none of that stuff up there really phased me, it was more being so white and uncultured that had me feeling out of place but i wasnt treated different, most people thought chch was all skinheads and racism and was somewhere to be avoided so we educated eachother on our home towns and i left Wairoa with a heavy sadness....i didnt want to leave.
ill always be fond of that beautiful wee place, and even more so the gorgeous souls who live there and made me feel like whanau. Arohanui 💫
All I can say is beautiful. Thank you brother 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Good stuff. We need more role models especially Christian role models. Great channel! :)
Bro what? When was this brother? Would have been awesome to meet you, live out towards the lake
Was about a month ago t
I like thid guy bronson!! Hes doing what he can for his people, aint no one else helping them out in wairoa the govt gave up on those small towns decades ago, so good on them, only thr ignorant would ridicule them for being in the mob
You heading to Kaiti, Gtown kuZ? Meke place mbro but always had its problems, but awesome stories and ppl there too...
I remember going to boarding school in hawkes bay wed always pass thru on school trips/rugby games. Me n the bros use to always joke how long it took before we saw a patch. I think the record was like 5 seconds 😂 the annual wairoa college rugby fixtures were rugged and ruff as fuck too, straight hit ups and brawls usually
Hard always scraps against Wairoa rugby memories bro
Wow…I was glued to this video….thank you for sharing! Stoked for those young men to have turned their lives around
Forget the wild west, its the wild east out here and its a beautiful part of the country. Great positive content, Thanks
The line the bro said that there weren’t any All Blacks or celebrities there is deep I hope they see themselves as those role models that they needed and help guide the next generation
It's inspiring to see men who can do whatever they want, honour God and give Him glory. Strengthens my faith in Him!
Mad respect to waka! Knew him from high school and was always a supporter of the mob and also a huge supporter of being the best you possible. Glad he’s pumping in life and very conscious about himself whether it’s past, present or future him! Too much my g! Swak Oner haha.
Salute toko waka. Real spill for the ville. UNITY 💪🏾🪶🪶🪶💯
Went to the same school as the brother Waka in H TOWN! He was a cool bro to chill with. The good ole days of Fraser High! Solid mahi brothers. 💪 💯 🔥
U gon have to learn te reo brother Dave it was abit awkward wen that lady from the dairy was talking to u lol
Great testimony brother 🔥💪🏽🫶🏽
Awesome to see the Positive messages ❤Much love ❤Bring the kids up strong ! And Wise ❤
These towns are not neglected. I grew up in Hastings and woukd love to get back to HB area / weather.
A lot of downsizing older citz can afford to downsize to places like this spend locally and enjoy. Make the cafes, eateries and sight seeing spots quirky welcoming and lots more cashflows even for odd jobbers house maintenace people and tradies.
Waka is inspiring, I so hope he can speak to youth and help them move on from violence..such a truly unique person I sense a positive future for him..😊
Kiora thankyou so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us and taking time to share your story godbless you brother
Hearty Brother Waka #MOTIVATIONAOTEAROA
Raupunga-Wairoa-Frasertown. Man i heard some storys from my papas and nans. But wat a great podcast seeing our rangatira do there thing and inspire ❤
Been waiting on this 💯💪🏽
Born in Wairoa Dec 19 1991 . Haven't been back since my Nan's tangi 2002. Much love to all my Whanau there. Wihone Whanau. Coopers and Te kahus. Much love .
Still remember the trident was the old pad and the bar at the back was huge. Loved growing up in wairoa.
Ka Pai to see some bros out there changing the cycle to positive specially in this day in age
Nice work Dave keep it up Jesus is King 🏄🏽♂️
Got bless you all, may Jesus heal everyone inside and out.
Solid bro waka! Mana maori!💯💪
Oh wow I grew up in wairoa/ frasertown as a child, most the whanau still reside around wairoa! Awesome memories
Dont even know these guys but i feel very proud of them for trying to transition and pivot towards a more positive way of life. I have been on the same journey these last couple of years.
THEY ROBBED ME JST LAST WEEK!!
Awesome mahi brothers 🙌 good to see positive changes!
Started reading Truered written by Tuhoe Isaac otherwise known as bruno. Such an interesting read as he’s an ex mob leader who actually started quite a few of the chapters and I think he’s from Wairoa, not 100% sure tho 🤔
What's wrong with a boy growing up being able to stand on his own 2 feet, without having to join another gang of dudes just to survive and function in society. Do life on your own, or do it with a bunch of dudes wearing leather vests, your choice lmao.
Standing on your own 2 only takes you so far
@@LuvTwoBe I know bro. But there ARE people out there than stand on their own 2 feet. Sucks seeing kids and other people these days turn to 'strength in numbers' rather than trying to develop their own individual strength. Peace and love to you.
Amazing korero and kaupapa! Everyone needs to see this!
FORDEV8 grateful to hear our barks🤙🏾🤙🏾
Subbed to the channel mean content my guy keep em coming
Im from Gisborne, Wairoa is a beautiful town
Love it, be the best father you can be and Unity with everyone outside.
Proud to be born and bred in Wairoa. Blessings!
ØÖSH 2ţhe öøsh! 👊😎
frm Wellys! 😎🙏
Love everything u do Brother keep it up top job
Bronson is the heart of the movement. Mean duo
What sweater is brother wearing?
When you off to kaitaia my g?
The main reason Maori not a factor in oz like tbey use to be is because all the heavy Maori boys cant conme here like back in the day we all get deported but the middle eastern get to stay and they ruined it with no respect when the boys from nz were here there some aor of order and was respect now we just get deported
Love the journey gave my heart to the Lord while I was locked up... that's the hardest place to walk with the Lord... and its been even harder out here I real life
Im from Nukutaurua Mahia i love my home there's good hearts in Wairoa whanau just need to try and work together not just for ourselves but for our Tamariki especially.
Beautiful town, great content. Nothin more attractive to us woman than a strong man, meaning being strong of mind to stand n walk n his own power on his own if necessary to be true to himself above all else, being the best example n teacher in this realm to our tamariki ( we are a village) and being strong enough to control his emotions n be gentle with his hands n mouth 💖 we are all brothers n sisters. One love one heart. Lets beat in unison so we can beat the system. The system is structured to devide n conquer. It is a compilation of corporations that profit from us. Prisons, lawyers, judges, police all make millions every year while our tamariki n communities miss out in so many ways with the absence of our men. schools are institutions to indoctrination n are no place for pur tamariki. United we are powerful. Kia kaha whanau. Aroha from Poi e coumtry
After watching this, an Article came up on the NZH, that a gang fight in Wairoa happened over the weekend. So therefore nothing changed in that 💩 🕳️ dump.
Awesome brother Waka. Praise God
Jesus Christ is Lord 🙏🔥
WHEN? AND LORD OF WHAT?
Brother it's about Christ transforming from the inside out. Only God can bring true joy 🙏🔥
Great to see Young brothers making positive moves for the better 👌💯
Gangs arose out of poverty lack of opportunity. My grandDaddy is from Wairoa /Frasertown.
Being from sa I use to always brag about how gangsta we are but as I grew up I checked myself and learnt there's a tough kunt in every town no matter how small learned to humble myself
God be with you Waka! Thank you for being fearless and sharing your wonderful testimony. A great video for someone that is or has lived that life. I pray that when all the people in your life look at you; they see Him 🙏 May you never walk a day without Our wonderful God by your side, God Bless!
God bless you and your bro's ministry
Awesome content brothers. Mint korero 💪
That was a good episode cuzzy
The "justice" system in this country is so flawed it's sameful.
awesome bro, fisher of men .. strong My bro..
nahh, this my town to 😭 yall were driving down my nans street kinda got hyped seeing the familiar houses
nothing like feeling urself ,ur worth, the eye opening of the better avenue o te ao maori is enough to keep ypu busy and fulfilling within urself. its a beautiful thing
the jake the must can lay sleeping wen really needs to be awakened
As a normal law abiding citizen who works a normal working class job. I’m always struck by the way I always am struggling to just get by week to week. But the crims are all driving around in their flash cars. Designer clothes. Gold chains and fancy sunglasses and haircuts after spending years in prison.
Something aint write bro I agree. Look into islam and see ex gang members who changed thier ways. See if they still carry the old life. Change is not what we say it's what we do also. Your very upsorvent bro.
All those worldly things and you ain't got God no wonder your struggling, these ain't crims they are Sons of God on another journey just traveled a different road to you that's all 😜
Good on the bros they really got their work cut out for them.. Wairoa’s rep around nz is horrendous but god willing the boys can turn it around. Stay blessed
Aurahh cracked it on the hongi 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Born an Breed in Wairoa hard Career st chamberlain Ave was where I grew up. We moved out late 90s my mum wanted a better life for us . Wairoa will always be my home as I get older I miss that place more an more. All my whanau are from Kihitu Te Rauhina marae. Mean mahi from the bro Bronson doing good things much love to the bros back home.
That was some great Korero Brothers 🙏☝️🦁
Waka thank you through God you inspired us Greatly.
Non resident of wairoa non associate of any gang imo wairoa isnt too bad of a town last i went there yes did see some gang presence but so does every other town has them theyr allgoods mind your own business and its allgds muck around with them and you will find out just like everywhere else doesnt make wairoa a bad place much respect to those on the positive things in life there keep em going
Chur mean Maori mean 😎 respect to you and the Wairoa whanau for sharing this. Awesome 💯
Hey mean maori what does it mean to a mean maori when a mean maori says mean maori mean? Table and chur bro.
Brav can atleast say wairoa properly 😂😂 roll tha rz sound like a balangi saying it ahahaha
Yeah my bad whanau Im learning ❤️
Some people literally can't roll their tongues, brother. Like they can try, but for some reason, they physically can't get their tongue to roll..... just a perspective 🙏🏽
@@RushFitNZ fair call didn't even think of that my bad SMH man that made me look awesome 🤣🤣
Bro no real excuse just pronounce it properly always, it’s a part of “The fresh start” aye
Happy you guys are finding peace it’s so happy we are not alone much love whanau
