Bridge day check

Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

Celebrates South Africa's cultural diversity on 24 September, and has been widely adopted as National Braai Day — the informal name has all but replaced the official one in practice.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks close; supermarkets and butchers trade heavily.

Getting around

Normal to Sunday services; busy roads to coastal areas.
