Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The spotlight is on President Cyril Ramaphosa as many eagerly wait for him to announce a public holiday after the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa, speaking at the South African Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town last week, said he would consider declaring a public holiday if the Springboks won the World Cup.\u201cSouth Africans are revelling in this incredible success our boys have achieved in Paris. Many felt we should declare Monday [today] a public holiday and I declined. I said we will consider that when we win the final, at which I will be present,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

The Boks did their part by defending their championship in the nail-biting 12-11 win against New Zealand on Saturday. The attention has now shifted to Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

The president made no mention of the holiday in his weekly newsletter. Many are hopeful he will announce it in his address to the nation on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The president may, however, be in a tight spot, with talks about a public holiday taking place as matriculants start their end-of-year examinations. Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya on Sunday urged the public to wait for Ramaphosa to give clarity on the matter during his address to the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Monday] is day one of matric exams and a public holiday will be very disruptive to their exam schedule. 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,\u201d Magwenya said.<\/p>\n
