A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

A large fire at a camper van storage site in south Auckland is sending toxic smoke billowing over the region.

Fire crews were called to THL Rentals on Richard Pearse Drive, in Māngere, around 5am on Thursday.

Shift manager Daniel Nicholson said 19 fire trucks were at the scene at 6.30am, and the fire was at the fifth alarm stage.

A Stuff photographer on site said the fire was under control by around 7.30am.

Grant Webster, chief executive of THL, which owns Maui, Britz and Mighty campervan companies, said no staff were at the site when the fire started and it would be “inoperable for some weeks”.

There was minimal damage to camper vans but “severe” damage to the building.

A statement from Webster on the NZX site said there appeared to be damage to about 10 motorhomes and “substantial damage” to the building that houses the office and workshop.
