Worker’s Day is observed annually in South Africa to celebrate workers’ rights. It is also commemorated to acknowledge the role trade unions and workers’ organisations played in the struggle against apartheid.
In other countries, the day has been a holiday since 1891. However, in South Africa, it only became a holiday after the 1994 democratic elections.
