PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma has declared December 27 a public holiday, throughout the Republic of South Africa.
Two public holidays this year are overlapping. Christmas Day falls on Sunday December 25 and since it cannot roll over to the Monday, which is also a holiday and celebrated as Day of Goodwill or Boxing Day, the president therefore declared the Tuesday a bonus public holiday.
