Where can I find SA South African public holidays?
Right here! Also on popular sites like publicholidays.co.za and timeanddate.com/holidays. Plus the local SA gov.za. And Businesstech says that South Africans will ‘lose’ two public holidays next year (ie 2026). TLDR. Long article and many keywords later. Because there are 2x holidays that fall on Saturdays in 2026. Which means that you won’t get the day off work. Use it or lose it. Those holidays are Human rights day on Saturday 21 March 2026. And day of Goodwill on Saturday 26 December 2026.
Now where will we be cycling on those days?
