THIRUTTANI, INDIA - NOVEMBER 10: 28 year old Rupa has her hair shaven to donate to the Gods at the Thiruthani Murugan Temple November 10, 2016 in Thiruttani, India. Rupa donated her hair with the wish that her daughter's illness is cured. The process of shaving ones hair and donating it to the Gods is known as tonsuring. It is common for Hindu believers to tonsure their hair at a temple as a young child, and also to celebrate a wish coming true, such as the birth of a baby or the curing of an illness. The "temple hair", as it's known, is then auctioned off to a processing plant and then sold as pricey wigs and weaves in the US, Europe and Africa. (Photo by Allison Joyce/Getty Images)

A "representative" in a mock election of US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (C) pretends to weep November 08, 2016 following the outcome of a street popularity ballot in Kenya's lakeside town of Kisumu, in which Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton emerged the winner. Sentiment at the lakeside town and the country at large appeared to remain strong in favour of US' Democratic party, whose outgoing President, Barack Obama is considered a son given his father's Kenyan heritage, more so at Kogelo, about 60 kilomtres from Kisumu, the birthplace of his father, Obama Snr. / AFP / TONY KARUMBA (Photo credit should read TONY KARUMBA/AFP/Getty Images)

TOPSHOT - An EFF supporter sprays a fire extinguisher as members and supporters of the South African opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), demonstrate against South Africa's president Jacob Zuma and in support of the release of the South African Public Protector "State Capture" report in Pretoria on November 2, 2016. South Africa's anti-corruption watchdog November 2 called for prosecutors to investigate alleged criminal activity as it released a report into President Jacob Zuma that fuelled further calls for him to resign. Zuma, whose presidency has been engulfed by multiple scandals, had fought to block the release of the Public Protector's report, but his lawyers made a surprise U-turn and dropped their legal appeal. The report was released hours later, further undermining Zuma after a series of court rulings that have tarnished his time in office and the ruling ANC party that led the fight to end apartheid rule. / AFP / MUJAHID SAFODIEN (Photo credit should read MUJAHID SAFODIEN/AFP/Getty Images)
