It is said that the best place to party in Africa is in South Africa. They have huge parties that include fireworks, music and dancing. It is a celebration that everyone partakes in.
After the party, everyone gets prepared for the carnival known as the Minstrel Carnival. This carnival dates back to the 19th century when slaves in Cape Town Africa were only allowed to be off on one day and that was January 1.
Those that engage paint their faces white (as opposed to black) and they put on costumes and sing songs and listen to the banjo players.
Rather than focus on the slavery aspect, they use this carnival to celebrate life and a new year.
