message: Is Independence Day on May 31 a holiday in South Africa ? It's not listed. -- PFHLai 07:26, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
:It was replaced by "Freedom day" in 1994.The majority of South Africans quite understandably attach no positive sentiments to Independence (1910) or the establishment of the (first) Republic in 1961. If anything it made life worse for them. Roger (talk) 19:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Why are the Afrikaans names listed here? Why not any other South African language? I suggest linking to the Afrikaans wikipedia article rather than trying to make the article multilingual in the English wikipedia. Greenman 09:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. No reason Afrikaans should get special treatment above the other nine languages Joziboy 18:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: If you're recording all the once-off public holidays that have occurred over the years, the 1994, 1999, and 2004 general elections, the 2000 and 2005 municipal elections were also public holidays.  There have also been once-off holidays for events such as coronations and royal funerals (pre-1961), and possibly also inaugurations of state presidents (1961-89).

replies: text: Perhaps one could simply note that since 1994 election days have been declared ad hoc holidays. Roger (talk) 19:35, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
