Legend: normal cells are business days; grey cells are weekends; red cells are national public holidays deducted from the count; amber cells are regional or sector-specific days that are not deducted.

How this count is made

Start with every date in March 2027, keep the Mondays to Fridays, then remove the dates marked “Yes” in the holiday table above. The number you get is the one shown at the top of this page: 20. Dates marked “Regional or sector-specific only” are observed in part of South Africa or in certain industries, so they are listed for reference but not deducted.

Method used for South Africa: deducted days are national public holidays (the days the dataset records as applying to the whole country). Your own workplace calendar may show fewer working days if it observes regional holidays.
