Weltliche Feiertage : Majuba Day: Celebrates the end of the First Boer War. All set up for a sequel in May in Orania only

Weltliche Feiertage : On this day in 1960 the police killed 69 people at Sharpeville who were participating in a protest against the pass laws. Many were shot in the back. The carnage made world headlines. Four days later the government banned black political organizations, many leaders were arrested or went into exile. During the Apartheid era there were human rights abuses by all sides; Human Rights Day is but one step to ensure that the people of South Africa are aware of their human rights and to ensure that such abuses never again occur.

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Das Erste Konzil von Nicäa (eine Versammlung von Bischöfen in den frühen Tagen des Christentums) wollte einen Tag finden, um der Kreuzigung und Auferstehung Christi zu gedenken. Dieses Gedenken musste mit jüdischen Feiertagstraditionen verbunden werden, da das letzte Abendmahl Christi als jüdisches Passadenmahl geglaubt wurde. Aber der jüdische Kalender basiert auf Mond- und Sonnenzyklen, so dass die Osterfeier dem gleichen Kalender folgen musste.

Weltliche Feiertage : It was typical in South Africa to take a day off of work after Easter. This day, which is also known as Easter Monday, was renamed as Family Day in 1995.

Weltliche Feiertage : In 1975 protests started in African schools after a directive from the then Bantu Education Department that Afrikaans had to be used on an equal basis with English as a language of instruction in secondary schools. The issue, however, was not so much the Afrikaans as the whole system of Bantu education which was characterised by separate schools and universities, poor facilities, overcrowded classrooms and inadequately trained teachers. On 16 June 1976 more than 20 000 pupils from Soweto began a protest march. Paid holiday when falling on Saturday or Sunday Previously known as Soweto Day.
