The Religious and Cultural Rights Commission say they have completed public hearings on the review of the Public Holidays Act in three provinces.

The CRL Commission conducted hearings in Gauteng, the Free State and Kwa-Zulu Natal where several organisations made submissions for changes to the act.

Commission Chief Phegema Moreroa says some people they engage with on their debates argue that the current calendar is Western.

He also said that people want a lot of changes on the calendar in terms of the Holidays.
