August 9th is a national holiday.
In South Africa.
Sure they like Corey Hart, still, but it is a country and today is National Women's Day. The holiday commemorates the 20,000 women who gathered in the capital of SA on this day in 1956. Primarily women of colour, they were peacefully protesting apartheid, the pass system and the fact that women were, at best, second class citizens in SA.
