Southern Africa Liberation Day is a public holiday in Angola that commemorates the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, a pivotal conflict in the Angolan Civil War. This battle is widely regarded as a turning point that led to the independence of Namibia and the eventual dismantling of apartheid in South Africa. The holiday honors the sacrifices made for regional sovereignty and political freedom. Financial markets and government institutions in Angola are closed in observance of this historic event.
This is a fixed-date public holiday observed annually on March 23rd across Angola. It was officially established to recognize the regional significance of the 1988 military victory.
