Hip-hop star Savage has revealed he lost 27 relatives in the previous month’s Samoan tsunami.

“It’s really personal for me,” he told the Samoa Observer newspaper.

Savage, real name Demetrius Savelio, hails from Lalomanu, the epicentre of the tsunami which killed 143 people in Samoa.

Savage’s relatives at Poutasi, further along the coast, lost their houses.

He told the newspaper of his connections with the Taufua family which lost 13 members and on his mother’s side which lost 14 members.

Some of the killed relatives and the beach at Lalomanu feature in Savage’s video made earlier this year, I love the Islands.

“All that put in a nutshell is hard to swallow,” said Savage. .

The Samoa Observer said Savage was in tears recalling the memories of pristine sandy beaches and breathtaking views of the south coast when he made the video. He helped organise ther recent fundraising concert in Auckland at Vector Arena, called I Love the Islands.

“It’s a video clip I take a lot of pride in.

“My single I Love the Islands was like the last raw footage of what the beach was like,” he said.

“It’s hard for us Samoans in New Zealand because we’re so far away watching the news in the comfort of our homes to see the devastation of our families and villages. To now see it on TV gives you a bit of sorrow and sadness because you know now what we were standing on back then is all gone,” he told the Observer. It was important for us to come back here.

A 25-year-old man has been arrested following an hour-long police pursuit of a stolen bread delivery truck through the Manawatu overnight.

The incident began in Foxton shortly before 3am, when a bread delivery man had his truck stolen by a man wielding a hammer, central police communications Inspector Paul Jermy said.

Shortly afterwards, police spotted the truck on State Highway 1, south of Foxton and attempted to stop it.

Despite the tyres deflating, the driver continued driving and the chase returned to SH1. .

The pursuit lasted an hour and five minutes – but did not exceed 110kmh as the truck was incapable of travelling any faster, Mr Jermy said.

The driver eventually stopped when the truck became more difficult to control.

A 25-year-old Palmerston North man had been arrested and faced numerous charges, including breach of bail, dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving whilst forbidden and robbery.

The 50 people who receive the most money in social welfare payments will be audited, Social Development Minister Paula Bennett says.

More than 300 beneficiaries receive more than $1000 a week and many in the top 50 have more than eight children.

Among those to be audited are a couple, both on the unemployment benefit for 15 years, with 10 children who receive $1200 a week, the New Zealand Herald reported.

“Should we look at it, I think so.

Prime Minister John Key said he supported the audit of the top 50 beneficiaries. .

“I think the taxpayer is entitled to know, at least, it’s been properly distributed,” he told TV One’s Breakfast.

The family’s details became available following a question from Labour in Parliament, Mr Key said.

“I think it needs to be fair, so we are ensuring people are getting what they need, but not more than they are entitled to.

Ms Bennett said there were “isolated cases where it seems like a lot of money”.

Labour MP Annette King said the 168 on the DPB getting more than $1000 a week were a small proportion of the 104,000 people on that benefit
