Women's Day (Public Holiday)
South Africa celebrates the powerful women who have made such a difference in nation- building with this unique Public Holiday
Women’s day is a wonderful South African Public Holiday, celebrating all the great women who have helped make South Africa what it is today. They truly are the mothers of the nation and Women’s day recognises and remembers women’s achievements in South African history.
In South Africa this date commemorates the national march of women on 9th of August in 1956, to petition against legislation that required African persons to carry the "pass"(special identification documents which curtailed an African's freedom of movement during the Apartheid era).
