    There are 1,917 days until Day of Reconciliation, on Tuesday, 16 December 2031.

    Public holiday in South Africa.

    The Day of Reconciliation is a public holiday in South Africa held annually on 16 December. The holiday came into effect in 1995 after the end of apartheid, with the intention of fostering reconciliation and national unity for the country. This day was first celebrated as Dingane's Day before being subsequently replaced with the Day of Reconciliation. Recognizing the need for racial harmony, the government chose the date for its significance to both Afrikaner and indigenous South African cultures. The celebration of the Day of Reconciliation can take the form of remembering past history, recognizing veterans' contributions, marching, and other festivities.
