africa holidays
What were the holidays in South Africa before apartheid?
I want to do a presentation about how the establishing of the (seven–or are they twelve?) new holidays aims to promote unity. To be effective, I need to discuss the divisive nature of the previous holiday calendar. I have only been able to get a few holidays.
Thanks, Tony J., for pointing me to wikipedia–they always bail us out, don’t they? Now my question is: Why was Union Day (1910-1960) changed to Republic Day (1961-1993)? Why did they need both a Queen’s Birthday (1952-1960) birthday and a
King’s Birthday (1910-1951)? Or were these celebrated according to the occupancy of the British throne?Kruger Day (1952-1993)–does that celebrate Paul Kruger’s role in defending Africaaner interests in SA? –Dingaan’s Day (1910-1951)–wasn’t he the one who first ceded lands and then carried out the Blood River slaughter? What was the original intention there? Day of the Covenant (1952-1979), Day of the Vow (1979-1993)?
Could someone fill me in?
Here they all are from 1910.
