Fifty years later these Panthers pictured are still living in Ponsonby/Grey Lynn/Westmere.
Vince Tuisamoa, was a Panther youth member and now resides in Westmere. Vince was on the PIG PATROL (police investigation patrol) and their task was to monitor the Police.
Will ‘ilolahia, now a resident of Freemans Bay, was the founding chairman of the PPP. This year 2021, Alec, Vince, Will, and all other panther members will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with many activities starting this month in the Aucklands Arts festival.
Do you know, what the PPP have achieved for the history of New Zealand? Will ‘ilolahia will give you monthly updates in his Ponsonby News column.
As part of the celebrations, PPP T-shirts and hoodies will be on sale for you to be a part of history. Come on Ponsonby, like our page and buy T-shirt sales via Waiata Artist Facebook page. ç
