Whakaotia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: I tino pāngia a Hohepa me tōna whānau i te wā o
nga tutu iwi o te tau 1983. E ai ki ngā kaiwhakaatu, i mua i te whakaekenga o tētahi mano ki tōna whare i Colombo, i ui atu a Hohepa mēnā he Tamil, he Sinhalese rānei ia. Ka whakahokia e ia i te reo Sinhala: "He tangata ahau". Whai muri i tēnei kōrero, ka tukinotia ia.
