“Hallelujah, brothers.” Ormande Nathan, aged 15, shows how he opened his winning speech at the Canterbury and Aoraki Maori speech contest held yesterday. Ormande, who was the first speaker in the junior English section, had a packed audience at Burnside High School in fits of laughter, as he debated whether “God is white, or is He or She brown.” After his speech, fellow Hillmorton High School pupils (rear) performed a waiata, a song supporting his speech.
