News24 reports that The Presidency has confirmed that Tuesday, 27 December will indeed be a public holiday, after South Africans inquired if that was true.
Presidency spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga said the decision was informed by the fact that, this year, workers in the country would only have 11 public holidays, instead of 12, because Christmas Day, 25 December, had fallen on a Sunday. In a statement, Ncqulunga used the Public Holidays Act of 1994 to explain the reason.
