Kapa haka Facebook jape upsets
Radio station More FM has been slammed for altering photographs of Te Matatini performers and posting the results on its Facebook page.
Willie Te Aho from Aotearoa Kapa Haka Ltd, which manages the national kapa haka festival’s copyrights, says the station didn‘t ask for permission to use the images.
He says they are a bunch of thieving, silly and stupid people who need to get their heads inspected, perhaps even drug tested.
He says it’s an attack on the mana of the performers from Te Whanau a Apanui whose pictures were doctored for the prank.
