Morning gentlemen and others.

The 16 december is a public holiday in SA and is taken as a start dtae for the holidays by a number of companies.Although with less cash around, fewer families disappear to the coast for 4 weeks at a time as was the norm in the past.

banks are closed Xmas day, boxing day, and new years day, much as in Oz.

the mines, steel works, eskom plants etc run right through with the 3 statutory holiday s off, except continous process.

The legal fraternity close for a 3 week break, and it is unlikely that any agreements will be signed between 15 dec and 7 jan.
