It looks like there is no public holiday scheduled for Monday following the Springboks’ win against New Zealand on Saturday. The spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa, Vincent Magwenya, said posts on social media declaring a public holiday are fake.
HATE to break it to you but you’re going to work on Monday.
According to Vincent Magwenya, the spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa, announcements about Monday being a public holiday in South Africa are fake.
Posts have been flooding social media claiming that a public holiday was granted.
Magwenya said Grade 12 examinations kick off on Monday and it would be disruptive to learners’ schedules.
“Tomorrow is day 1 of Matric exams, and a public holiday will be very disruptive to their exam schedule. Please ignore fake announcements, got work tomorrow, work hard like a true World Champion, and wait for the President’s address in the evening,” Magwenya tweeted.
Last week, Magwenya said the president was inundated with messages from residents calling for a public holiday if the Boks defended their title and brought home the coveted Webb Ellis Cup.
Perhaps, there could be mention of a day off another time when President Ramaphosa addresses the country on Monday at 8pm.
