This year wasn't all doom and gloom. Whether it was dancing traffic cops or just a good story that made you feel better about the world, 2017 had it's fair share of feel-good moments this year. Here are some of our favourite videos:

The dancing traffic cop

Meet Dorah Mafokeng, the South African traffic officer who went viral after a video was published showing her awesome traffic directing skills.
