STACEY MORRISON Flava radio host, Te Arawa & Ngāi Tahu & MĀTAI SMITH TV presenter, Rongowhakaata, Ngāi Tamanuhiri
How has your life changed since last Matariki?
Stacey: I turned 50 – that’s crazy! I’m kind of shocked to still be here but very grateful because my mum never made it to 50 and my nana never made it to 50.
Mātai: My niece has had a baby who’s the first mokopuna and also great-grandchild in our whānau.
His name is Raekahu and he’s my absolute world.
My younger brother passed away suddenly four years ago, so I’ve kind of taken over the mantle of being Raekahu’s koro and I love it.
He’s the apple of my eye!
How will this year’s Mānawatia A Matariki broadcast differ from last year’s?
Stacey: We’ll be into Te Waipounamu, which is very exciting and will be chillier!
We’ve been at Te Papa and Rotorua, and now we’ll be in Wānaka.
Mātai: Stacey and I will be broadcasting live from Treble Cone, so no doubt we will be in our thermals and beanies this time as I hear the snow is already there.
