#CityImages reached out to our South African sources and were told the majority think he’s a bad representation of the country.

However, the minority who are wealthy whites like him because they see a little something of themselves in him. Would it be funny if people started referring to him as a South African oligarch?

Noche Buena celebrations depend on the region and the traditions locals choose to adopt. When our family traveled to Morelia, Michoacán in Mexico, the party started nine days before Noche Buena with celebrations called las Posadas. It literally means "lodging"—commemorate the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth. At a posada, guests participate in an outdoor procession near the home singing villancicos, or holiday songs, and building piñatas.
