15 Years in Manurewa — Taking Action for a Cleaner, Safer, Stronger Community.

MEET MARSHAL
Working Side-by-Side With Manurewa, Every Step of the Way.
I’m not a career politician — I’m a neighbour, a volunteer, and a problem-solver.
Over the past 15 years in Manurewa, I’ve:
Worked with 10+ community groups, including Beautification Trust, Totara Hospice, and Radio Lollipop.
Served as Trustee of the Beautification Trust and spokesperson for the Auckland Indian Retailers Association.
Led initiatives that planted 55,000 trees across South Auckland.
Raised $3,000 for Totara Hospice in 2025 through a special community walk.
My journey has been shaped by the belief that when we work together, we achieve real change.

COMMUNITY
In the Community, For the Community
From planting trees and organising clean-ups to supporting local charities, I believe in action over talk.
Every initiative I lead starts with listening to the people it’s meant to serve — because change only works when it’s built together.
