Far you guys are brave tbh, I remember growing up in Mangere during my Primary School days. 😅 Lucky enough not to get dropped. Good memories of the boys bringing back my bike. 😂❤ Gotta love the community even if some of us are still finding their way. Thanks for your guys work. 😊🫡 We need more people like you guys, setting the example.

Is that the place they call ”gangstas paradise” ?

Fitz holding it down for 275, South Auckland and minorities. Not just a business owner/entrepreneur. Someone who is trying to unite and uplift the neighbourhood

Man he ain’t lying 38 years in Mangere and back in the 90’s the town centre was the place to be, smell of fresh food, every corner you’d hear conversations in Tongan/Samoan/Rarotonga/niuean etc, seeing your friends from school, smiling faces and like the brother said it was Colourful! Vibrant and business bustling with people! I hope we get to see it like that again so that our kids can get to experience it! Mangere forever home!

💯… at the Mangere markets food was popping … pork buns, panipopo … the Arcades … fried chicken in the centre, cheap as pies $1 at Orly Ave and the big jolly drinks, cultural performances happening … top it off doing bombs at the Mangere pools lol the spirit in Mangere was thriving back then … been in oz now 14 yrs but I miss those days 90s- early 2000s

We as people's from Aotearoa need these channels so people realize the love in our communities...SHOUT OUT TO the Southside ❤️

I reckon Fitz is the face for 275. He’s from here, he’s made an impact on the hood, he supports and looks out for his community, he cares. He’s too good and deserves the best💯

Appreciate the trip down memory lane. Loved this segment! Will share to my Australian followers of the place I call home. Thank you to the uso Fitz. Has been one of the pioneers driving Mangere into a positive direction.

This was so enjoyable and captivating to watch. The amount of lives, generations, events etc that covered 30 minutes of storytelling amazes me. Keep em coming Dave this was too good ;)

Born and raised in Mangere, can never leave this place, everywhere I go, I'm always excited to head back home to Mangere. We have everything here and blessed to be part of the 275 family ❤️

This was a watch that took me down memory lane for sure, grew up in Mangere and know of all the gangs Fitz mentioned - alot of those shops in Mangere Town Centre hasnt changed like he said, Jit Shoes and that Dickies store. This was a real rare watch and real solid to see a Mangere brother present the hood like this. A suburb full of culture, stories and love. Gotta love the hood, shot for the upload Felon Show!

Education about the hood and it’s history is the best information to know about. Older people like this guy Fitz sharing his wisdom and experience is everything 💯

Solid tour of the 275 uso. On to it information. Beautiful. Home of the champions ⭐ God bless usos 🙌

That was really fascinating. Reminds of me of the areas i grew up in the 80s. Well shot too. Please do more. Support locals🙏✌️👍

Blessed looking back at 275 streets. Life is different for myself now but still support local and represent Mangere proudly. Mad props to all raising the vibe..

This guy is the man! You know how much he loves his community explained the history of mangere and the gangs mad respect need more people like this! 💯

Really enjoyed this one!! What a great tour guide he is.

The utmost and ultimate respect to the uso and ALL the brothers down south, holding it down and paving the way for our younginz. Shout out to all of you and this channel. The pronunciation and knowledge of Maori culture just blows my mind! You are not obliged at all to pronounce names correctly, or have an in-depth understanding of any cultural history, or to even participate in joint struggles. That's a pure example as to why we, as a people, are truly one nation. My upbringing and schooling was definitely a massive clash of cultures but at the same time, united. I would never have wanted it any other way. Much love ❤

.. I was the local Mr Whippy , I got to know so many of the local kids and families, Gangs and culture inc the Whippy truck .. Good memories for me 275

Keep doing you Fitz...275 REPRESENT

Grassroots - great show Dave, can’t wait to see other suburbs🙂

Man this took me down a trip through memory lane. I moved to Europe almost 6 years ago and was good reminiscing on the old days. This guy was on point with all the areas and groups territories that I remembered from my childhood in 90s-early 2000s. Glad I grew up in the hood. Would never change it for a thing.

I was looking up kids shows in NZ from the 80's & 90's trying to remember kids shows as a kid growing up in New Zealand then I saw this video and im a sub enjoyed watching as ive missed home so bad its been 11 years now residing in Auz im born & raised in Auckland look forward to checking out your videos 🙏❤

Bad respectful to you my bro shot for the video that you showed us all god bless 🙌🏼

Mangere boy here. Been away since 2003. Lived in Favona, went to school at Mangere Intermediate 1991-92, now part of the Southern Cross campus. I used to bike/walk home via Garus Ave and then through the old hospital grounds to Harania Ave. Sometimes via McNaughton, McKinstry and Robertson. That hospital is now a suburb. Sister still lives at Vine Street and worked at Barbeque Rostilj - first for the original Eastern European owners and then for the Chinese guy. I remember when the Tua family rebuilt their house on Robertson Road. I went to Otahuhu College with David Tua. He has a trouble maker freshie. He now does a great show on the Radio Samoa channel. I hung around Mangere Town Centre when Farmers (managed by Sonny Bill Williams' uncle?) was still there, and even before MacDonalds came in. And before the markets started up in the carpark. I see the ASB is no longer at that corner at Mangere Town Centre. I went to school with Alfred Hunkin who was the nightwatchman there. One night he caught some kids breaking into the centre and he beat them up. They later stabbed him for it. Is the library still there? Mangere Town Centre looks run down and that is sad. I clearly remember when the whole of Mangere Bridge used to stink all the time from the sewerage ponds. I know someone there with a $1.4m+ house there and I can't believe it. My other sister lived at Frisian Drive at the corner with Massey Road. The house burnt down once. Other family at Ashgrove Ave. And all this before the gangs. Never heard of these gang names. I knew all those streets like the back of my hand. Thanks for the tour.

This is such a good idea brother, just wish you were allowed to do this in Aus as well as NZ, would be great to get some OGs in Briz and Sydney giving you tours of some areas there

Good video bro I love it keep it up

Wow 👏 this video was awesome to watch and reminisce. Original Mangerian but have since moved. 👏

Damn i aint been home in 10 years, Mangere looks so different, but thanks for your work bro, keep spreading the positivity in our area.

Leet brother, Chur to Fitz and all holding it down and creating better change. And see my brother Tee! He was up with the crew at yesterdays jam

Thanks for an insight of South of the Bombay Hills. I have never been to Otara and Mangere and your video was an interesting perspective. Never knew that there were so many minor gangs since my time in New Zealand. Never been to that side of New Zealand although Im a Samoan. I was born in Christchurch and lived in P Town NZ until 1981, before I migrated to Australia. Only gangs then were the Black Power and the Mongrel Mob for the Maori. Samoans had the Peacemakers in the late 1970s. That faded just as quick as the Rugby players who worked at the Todd Motors had families and grew up. I left NZ in 1981 and returned in the 1990-93 for University only and visited in 2000 for a few months then returned to Australia. I have never seen this version of Polynesian lifestyle apart from the music and stories. I have never seen Mangere and Otara from this perspective. Thank you for the video.

Grew up in Mangere in the late 80s through to the 90s. Still remember the big FDKNS mural across from the town centre. Now living in Wellington over 20yrs still miss south aux! We lived in kapuka rd across mt view primary.

Born and breed in rewa from 84 - 2001. Then moved to Whangamata. Use to enjoy going out to Mangere as a kid, to play the Hawks, then go to the markets for a feed after our games, then venture to start of the runway and we'd climb up on the roof of the Sportpac van to feel the wind of the aircrafts. It was a gravel rd, probably closed now.. My old man was born in Mangere in 1960 with his five bros/sisters 42 Allen St. My middle name was named after this St apparently, only reason I remember it. This clip bought back so many memories, even tho I'm not a local it was a place I always felt comfortable in, esp for a half/caste boy haha

Saaaaalid💯 not bad brother Fitz shot for sharing that with us I didn't know that much about 75 but now I do... Salute King Dave what up cous!!!! Come to otara my bro start at the big fish!

Good stuff man! Just moved here on mckinstry last July after spending 30 years in otahuhu and I gotta say i love the area It feels homely

Cruised up there to meet some dudes to swap my mates car for a evo the dudes had . We drove past the gas station they wanted us to meet them and there was like 15 islanders all coloured up n that. Was a Friday night like 1am no one around but them and soon as we pull up what ya know. Stood over for the car left us there on foot lol. Goneski. Never seen either of the cars again. My mate was gutted I told him we going get rolled lol 😂 old times crack up
