Zwarte Piet, also known as Black Pete or Black Face is a Dutch tradition whereby some white people paint their faces black as helpers of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) in the month of November until 5th December.

Africa Web TV asked people in Nairobi, Kenya what they thought of this Dutch tradition.
