There are 250 working days in South Africa in 2028. That's calculated from 366 calendar days minus 106 weekend days and 10 public holidays that fall on a weekday. The remaining 3 public holidays land on weekends and don't reduce the working-day count.
South Africa has 2250 working hours in 2028, based on the 45-hour statutory work week (9 hours per day × 250 working days). Source: South African Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
13 public holidays fall in 2028: New Year's Day (2028-01-01); Human Rights Day (2028-03-21); Good Friday (2028-04-14); Family Day (2028-04-17); Freedom Day (2028-04-27); Workers' Day (2028-05-01) and 7 more.
No — only nationwide public and bank holidays defined by South African Basic Conditions of Employment Act are subtracted. Regional, observance, and optional holidays vary by state or canton and aren't included so the headline figure stays consistent for nationwide payroll, billing, and capacity-planning use.
