The holiday dates on this calendar follow the Public Holidays Act (No. 36 of 1994), including the Sunday→Monday rule. Double-check any date against the South African Government’s official list: gov.za — Public holidays. One-off holidays proclaimed by the President (such as election days) are announced there too and aren’t pre-printed here.Whole year

Frequently asked questions
Which South African public holidays are included?
All twelve South African public holidays under the Public Holidays Act — New Year's Day, Human Rights Day, Good Friday, Family Day, Freedom Day, Workers' Day, Youth Day, National Women's Day, Heritage Day, the Day of Reconciliation, Christmas Day and the Day of Goodwill. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the calendar also marks the following Monday as the observed public holiday, exactly as the Act provides.
Why does an extra Monday holiday appear some years?
South African law says that whenever a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the Monday after it is also a public holiday. The calendar computes this automatically — for example National Women's Day (Sunday 9 August 2026) is followed by an observed holiday on Monday 10 August. Note the rule applies to Sundays only; a holiday on a Saturday does not move.
Are one-off holidays like election days included?
No — those are proclaimed by the President for a specific date and can't be computed in advance. If one is announced, write it into the fillable box for that day. The twelve annual holidays and their Monday observations are always marked.
Which languages can I make the calendar in?
Three: English, Afrikaans and isiZulu. Choose from the dropdown before generating — the month names, weekday headers and holiday names all print in that language (Erfenisdag / uSuku Lwamagugu for Heritage Day, and so on). The Afrikaans holiday names follow the established official forms, and the isiZulu names were verified against isiZulu reference sources.
Can I fill in the South African monthly calendar on my computer?
Yes. Open it in Adobe Reader, Preview, Chrome, Firefox or any mobile PDF viewer, click a date and the box becomes a text field. Type your event, then save — no paid software needed.
Does the South African monthly calendar fit A4 and US Letter?
It prints cleanly on both A4 and US Letter, so any printer in South Africa works. Choose portrait or landscape before generating.
Is the South African monthly calendar free to print?
Yes. Generate and print it as often as you like — there's no signup, no payment and no watermark.
