Angola's National Culture Day Suggested As Public Holiday

Sources: Angola Press and Angola public holidays. Yesterday, Luanda's regional culture minister, Manuel Sebastião, was quoted as saying that he was in favor of adding January 8th (National Culture Day) to the list of Angola's public holidays.

This comes 3 days after news was released that the Angolan Cabinet Council approved, in one of its sessions in 2007, the methodological norms of organisation and commemoration of the national holidays, confirming as national holidays the dates of 4 January (Colonial Repression Martyrs' Day), 4 February (Day of the Start of the National Liberation Struggle against colonialism), 4 April (Peace and National Reconciliation Day), 17 September (National Hero`s Day), and 11 November (National Independence Day).
