What makes the South Africa calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the South Africa signature lives in the other dates: National Women's Day (National Women's Day, 8月10日), found in no other country in the dataset; Day of Reconciliation (Day of Reconciliation, 12月16日), found in no other country in the dataset; Human Rights Day (Human Rights Day, 3月21日), shared with a single other country. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Heritage Day (9月24日) to Day of Reconciliation (12月16日): 83 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 12 nationwide holidays and National Women's Day will fall on a 月曜日 (8月9日).
