Searching for Pacific Island women between 45-55yrs old to audition for a new acapella worship group of 3 to sing in the communities.
This project will be a ‘not-for-profit to help the unfortunate & unprivileged individuals who need help on our streets but can’t get it for certain reasons. Let’s not abandon them as they’re just as human as anyone else!🙏🏽😊
If you are a solo or tenor singer please contact me asap! especially if you have a strong voice & love to harmonise praise & worship songs that’ll be great!
Reminding the women interested, this is not a paid job but is volunteering to the community but through Praise & Worship. The final pick that make myself & 2 other women (others maybe kept for backup singing etc) as the plan is to be government funded there will be cover for the audition hours, the recordings, travel allowance etc..
Some of the key points I’m looking for;
1. A hunger for Jesus in their life & others🙏🏽🙌🏽
2. A thirst to want to sing praise & worship songs to encourage those who need uplifting in our communities, hospitals, schools, universities, elderly facilities to the sick & vulnerable, the community markets & more..
3. A positive & humble attitude.
4. Looking for Tenor & Solo voices
5. You don’t need to be an expert in singing but need to have confidence in singing & harmonising together to practice for the studio recording etc.
6. Enjoy a challenging but rewarding project in the end.
Please feel free to contact me for any further questions through my email: smrtogo@gmail.com

By-election for Otara-Papatoetoe area
Just to let everyone know that we have another by-election happening, and here is the reason why. Below are details and dates, so keep an eye on your letter boxes.
The Manukau Court’s Ruling
The Manukau District Court determined that the Papatoetoe subdivision result of the Ōtara–Papatoetoe Local Board election was invalid, ruling that the outcome had been “materially affected” by voting irregularities. Judge Richard McIlraith found that the scale and nature of the irregularities met the legal threshold required to void an election under New Zealand’s local electoral laws.
In his decision, Judge McIlraith stated that the evidence presented — including reports of stolen voting papers, fraudulent use of ballots, and other procedural irregularities — was sufficient to conclude that the integrity of the election had been compromised. The court noted that at least 79 voting papers were identified as having been cast without the rightful voter’s knowledge during a judicially supervised examination of ballot boxes.
While the judge acknowledged that the election had been administered “properly and in accordance with all requirements” by Independent Election Services and the electoral officer, he concluded that the fraudulent activity originated outside the official process and nonetheless impacted the final result to a degree that required the election to be voided.
As a result of the ruling, the court ordered that a new election must be held, with Auckland Council confirming that the fresh poll must be completed by 9 April 2026
