The Wildebeest's guide to South Africa
South African Public Holidays 2022
Afrikaans name: Suid-Afrikaanse openbare vakansiedae 2022
2021 was a challenging year for most people in South Africa, and around the world. It's 2022, and times are still tough, but I would like to suggest that you go on holiday, take weekend trips or day drives. It's good for you and the tourism industry in South Africa. Go for it!
