✊Federation of Union of South Africa is lobbying for South Africans to have an extra public holiday 🏖️ to boost worker morale 🙌Read what they said:
South Africa currently has a total of 12 public holidays and since public holidays are not counted as leave, they can be a real bonus, with many people targeting them to make long weekends last even longer.
However, Fedusa said its leadership was alerted to the fact that during 2022, working South Africans will only enjoy 11 out of the 12 paid holidays.“The matter was raised that Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, and in terms of the Public Holidays Act, “whenever any public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be a public holiday”. Consequently, Monday 26 December 2022, the Day of Goodwill, will then be deemed to fall outside of the ambit of the Public Holidays Act.
“Fedusa believes that President Ramaphosa should seriously consider proclaiming 27 December 2022 as paid Public Holiday,” the union said.15 April – Good Friday
