Official sources — always verify before booking

Disclaimer: Public holiday dates are sourced from the Public Holidays Act (No. 36 of 1994) as published on gov.za for the confirmed 2026 calendar, including the 4 November 2026 Local Government Elections special holiday. School term dates reflect the unified national DBE calendar effective since 2024 — all nine provinces follow the same schedule for public schools. Independent and private schools set their own calendars. Leave‑bridging suggestions are not employment advice. Matric exam dates are indicative based on historical patterns — official dates are published by DBE/Umalusi mid‑year.
