Te Whakatau mō Rewi Rāpana te kaumātua hou o Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato

He waimarie nō mātou o Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato ki te whai tangata ki te whakakii i te whāruarua i whakawātengia e te rangatira e Koro Hare Puke. Nā Koro Hare i tohua ko wai te tangata e tika ana mō te mahi rā ā nā Kīngi Tūheitia i whakaaengia kia tū a Rewi Rāpana nō Ngāti Haua Werewere nō Ngāti Raukawa hoki hei kaumātua hou mō tātou o te whare wānanga nei.

I tae mai a Koro Rewi a Koro Rubal rānei i waenga i a mātou ngā kaimahi Māori me te tūmuaki nūnui a Vice Chancellor Roy Crawford i te Paraire 28th o Poutūterangi 2008.

I reira tonu a Koro Hare hei āhuru mōwai mō tātou katoa hei kaiārahi hei poutokomanawa hoki mō Koro Rubal, ahakoa e wehe atu ana ia e kore e mutu tērā o āna mahi.

Ka nui ke ngā mahi kei mua i te aroaro o tō tātou kaumātua hou ā ko tana mahi ōkawa tuatahi mō te whare wānanga nei ko ngā hui whakapōtaetanga e tū ana i te Paengawhāwhā.

Ka tika he hui pai tēnei mōnā kia tūtakitaki ai ki ngētehi o ngā tauira me ngā kaimahi Māori puta i te whare wānanga whānui.

E rere tonu ana ngā mihi ki a koutou ko tō whānau e Koro Rubal, nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai.
