Following the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup victory over the weekend, the Office of the Presidency has slammed “fake news” rumors that Monday is a public holiday.
This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa promised to address the country on Monday evening after implying that all South Africans will have the day off.
The Boks defeated the All Blacks of New Zealand 12-11 on Saturday night to become the first country to win four World Cups.
In a tweet, Presidential Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya rubbished reports of a public holiday on Monday.
He posted: “Tomorrow is day 1 of Matric exams, and a public holiday will be very disruptive to their exam schedule.
He added: “Please ignore fake announcements, go to work tomorrow, work hard like a true World Champion, and wait for the President’s address in the evening”.
