South Africa · 2028

South Africa records 12 holidays in 2028. 12 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2028) and Day of Reconciliation (16 Dec 2028) fall on a weekend in 2028, so they hand back no extra day off. Human Rights Day (21 Mar 2028), Freedom Day (27 Apr 2028) and St. Stephen's Day (26 Dec 2028) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 82 days, between 25 Sep 2028 and 16 Dec 2028. The year opens with New Year's Day on 1 Jan 2028 and closes with St. Stephen's Day on 26 Dec 2028.
