In South Africa 🇿🇦, in my local language, we have a cultural name for it, we call it “Digaigai”. It’s a funny 😆 nickname honestly. Some people don’t celebrate it- as you can understand, our country is very diverse. However, you see young people going to school and all dressed up in scary costumes. Most like dressing up as zombies in the part of the country where I come from.
Halloween is not a Kenyan tradition. But i like how kids are able to get candies for free.
I love Halloween, i lived in the US for over seven years and was lucky enough to experience it there, but in South Africa, it's not really Celebrated among the masses, mostly by smaller groups of young adults who throw parties for friends. I think learning about it can be helpful for English Conversation in classes
