Mayor Meng Foon's visit

Yesterday we were visited by our Mayor Meng Foon.

He talked about his earlier life and Gisborne's local history. His parents were immigrants to NZ.

He's the only Maori speaking Mayor in New Zealand. He was interviewed on tv about this.

He is serving his 18th (and last) term as Gisborne's Mayor. He also explained the Te Ha festival.
