South African Public Holidays 2021

Afrikaans name: Suid-Afrikaanse openbare vakansiedae 2021

2021 was a stressful and challenging year for South Africans and people around the world. The Covid-19 virus had a devastating effect on people's lives and one can only imagine the pain and hardship that those families, who lost a loved one, went through. This year will be remembered for a long time for all the wrong reasons. I am sure that you, like me, wondered if the world will ever be the same again.

Although every effort is made to keep this list correct, BlueGnu can't be held responsible for any errors.
