'I'll show you': Young Māori doctor from Mob family flipped racist slurs as motivation to succeed
Jordan Tewhaiti-Smith is sometimes asked why he isn't a patched-up member of the Mongrel Mob.
"To be honest I don't think I would fit the facade," the 23-year-old, who is about to graduate as a doctor, said.
Growing-up around the gang – his father and several uncles were members – was a "normal" part of his childhood.
Tewhaiti-Smith is graduating as a doctor on Friday and has already secured a job at Christchurch Hospital.
Congratulations Jordan!
