12/16/2009 - 12/16/2009Day of Reconciliation
Cape Town,
South Africa
Under South Africa's apartheid segregation system, 16 December was known as 'Day of the Vow', harking back to the vow the Voortrekkers made to God before a now infamous bloody battle with the Zulus. When the apartheid system was finally abolished in 1994, 16 December remained as a public holiday throughout South Africa but was renamed as the Day of Reconciliation. The day is now used to celebrate South Africa's cultural diversity and national unity.
