FAQ
When is National Women’s Day observed in South Africa for the upcoming holiday?
South Africans will observe National Women’s Day on Monday 10 August, even though the actual date is Sunday 9 August, resulting in a three‑day weekend according to the article’s description of the public holiday schedule.
What advice does FlySafair give about the holiday weekend?
FlySafair recommends that employees with flexible leave policies take a bit of leave—referred to as “girl math”—to stretch the Monday holiday into a longer break, allowing more time for travel or rest around the long weekend.
Why might workers consider adding leave around the 10 August holiday?
Adding a day of leave around the Monday observation can extend the standard three‑day weekend, giving travelers more consecutive days off for domestic trips, which aligns with FlySafair’s suggestion for those not needing long‑notice leave approval.
