South Affrica currently has 12 public holidays. With 3 of the 12 being of Christian origin namely that have to do with Easter and Christmas. Next weekend, 6 April to 9 April 2012, sees the Easter weeekend holiday.

So for the next two weeks ,here in the NDR will be looking at Easter holiday both from a christian and a South African perspective . Many South Africans will tell you,that we have an uncanny ability of adapting things and infussing them with so much SA flavour you'd think we came up with the item.

So how do South Africans celebrate Easter and why do we celebrate Easter, will be at the crust of our discussions for the next two weeks.Feel free to contribute your opinions,videos and blogs on this subject matter
