South Africa Considering Non-Trading Public Holidays

Sources: Independent Online (Pretoria) and South Africa bank and public holidays (qppstudio.net). South Africa's labour federation general secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi, has appealed to the government to pass legislation so that retail workers would not be forced to work on "the most emotional" public holidays such as Freedom Day on April 27, Workers Day on May 1, Youth Day on June 16 and Women's Day on August 9.
