NEW YORK - South Africans in New York are hatching plans to celebrate Christmas the "Mzansi" way, and often it's rather difficult in the Big Apple to find those authentic South African delights that make this time of year special.
South Africans zip up for what's expected to be a bitterly cold winter - the joys of Christmas have not faded.
For many South Africans, food and community play an important part in the Christmas experience and despite the challenges...there'll no doubt be some sort of gathering with good food and great company.
