As we leave behind a tense March with two holidays – Monday 20th largely proclaimed by the EFF as a national shutdown and Tuesday 21 when the historic 1960 Sharpeville Massacre was commemorated – uniquely celebrated by our democracy as Human Rights Day – we enter a major holiday period.
Besides the holiest Christian Easter weekend, we have the long Freedom to Workers’ Day weekend special. The holiest Muslim Ramadaan is under way, and this month will witness the Jewish Passover, and various Indian language New Year days being observed.
