New Year’s Day is a time of resolutions and starting fresh for some, while for others it is spent recovering from a big, late night spent with friends and family.
Africa widely follows the Gregorian Calendar, and even in places with Islamic or traditional calendars, “Western“ New Year’s Day is normally still celebrated.
Most people in Eswatini celebrate with private parties, lots of delicious food, and perhaps the making of some New Year’s resolutions. New Year’s Eve and Day are down-to-earth and family-oriented.
