Is April 27 'Freedom Day' and also Flag Day ? The current design of the Flag of South Africa was adopted on April 27, 1994. -- PFHLai 03:08, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
Is Independence Day on May 31 a holiday in South Africa ? It's not listed. -- PFHLai 07:26, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
Why are the Afrikaans names listed here? Why not any other South African language? I suggest linking to the Afrikaans wikipedia article rather than trying to make the article multilingual in the English wikipedia. Greenman 09:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
If you're recording all the once-off public holidays that have occurred over the years, the 1994, 1999, and 2004 general elections, the 2000 and 2005 municipal elections were also public holidays. There have also been once-off holidays for events such as coronations and royal funerals (pre-1961), and possibly also inaugurations of state presidents (1961-89).

Is it really necessary to have nine references strung together one after the other in the "Religious public holidays" section? I think they could be trimmed a bit and also spread around in the section to support different statements. See WP:CITEKILL for guidance on how to deal with the problem.

What about Regina Mundi Day on November 30? -- evrik ( talk) 21:09, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Republic Day was marked in 1994, partly as a way of recognising South Africa's restoration of its membership of the Commonwealth with effect as from 1 June 1994, as well as marking 33 years of the Republic of South Africa. - ( 124.197.55.28 ( talk) 01:38, 26 December 2020 (UTC))
