South Africa · 2027

South Africa records 12 holidays in 2027. 12 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Workers' Day (1 May 2027) and Christmas Day (25 Dec 2027) fall on a weekend in 2027, so they hand back no extra day off. Freedom Day (27 Apr 2027) and Day of Reconciliation (16 Dec 2027) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Mar, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 83 days, between 24 Sep 2027 and 16 Dec 2027. The year opens with New Year's Day on 1 Jan 2027 and closes with St. Stephen's Day on 27 Dec 2027.
