Workers' Day in South Africa is a public holiday on May 1st that commemorates the country's labor movement, celebrates workers' rights, and honors the role of trade unions and the working class in the fight against apartheid. It is rooted in the global International Workers' Day movement but has particular significance in South Africa for its connection to the struggle for democracy and social justice during the apartheid era.
