Hate to break it to you but you're going to work on Monday.
According to Vincent Magwenya, spokesperson to President Cyril Ramaphosa, announcements about Monday being a public holiday in South Africa are fake.
Posts have been flooding social media claiming that a public holiday was granted.
Magwenya said Grade 12 examinations kick off on Monday and it would be disruptive to learners’ schedules.
"Tomorrow is day 1 of Matric exams, and a public holiday will be very disruptive to their exam schedule. Please ignore fake announcements, got work tomorrow, work hard like a true World Champion, and wait for the President's address in the evening," Magwenya tweeted.

Last week, Magwenya, said the president was inundated with messages from residents calling for a public holiday if the Boks defended their title and brought home the coveted Webb Ellis Cup.
Perhaps, there could be mention of a day off another time when President Ramaphosa addresses the country on Monday at 8pm.
