E ono rau nga tāngata i tae atu ki te akoranga reo Māori he kore utu kei Ōtautahi i te Pōhina. Nā Anton Matthews i whakatū te akoranga i tōna wharekai, e mīharo ana ia i te tokomaha o ngā tāngata e hiahia ana ki te ako i te reo Māori. I kōrero ia ki a Guyon. 

Up to 600 people turned up to a free te reo Māori class given in Christchurch on Monday night. The class was offered by restaurant owner Anton Matthews, who was astonished by the turnout. He tells Guyon Espiner about the evening.
