It shows directly-elected U.S. senators. Godiva would be a better image<G>. -- Nunh-huh 05:40, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

May 31 is not "Independence Day" in South Africa. It was the date of the Treaty of Vereeneging ending the Boer War (1902), the date of the formation of the Union of South Africa from four British colonies (1910) and the date the Union became the Republic of South Africa (1961). The date was a public holiday as Republic Day until 1994. South Africa gained independence following the passing of the Statute of Westminster in the British parliament on 11 December 1931, a date never formally celebrated with a holiday. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brutus2 (talk • contribs) 13:25, 31 May 2006.
- It's not on Public holidays in South Africa. Let's remove it from the Main Page. -- 199.71.174.100 21:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
