Zambia Enacts December 29 Public Holiday
Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (Lusaka)
The Government of Zambia has issued the Statutory Instrument No.73 of 2026 declaring December 29 a new annual public holiday, beginning in 2026, and in observance of the newly consolidated National Day of Prayer and Christian Heritage.
Secretary to the Cabinet, Patrick K. Kangwa, also announced that the Statutory Instrument No.78 of 2015 had been revoked, meaning that October 18 will no longer be observed as the National Day of Prayer public holiday, effective immediately.
The aforementioned Statutory Instrument No.73 thus combines the prayer day with the commemoration of Zambia’s 1991 declaration as a Christian nation.
As October 18 falls on a Sunday in 2026, the previously gazetted substitute holiday on Monday, October 19, should also cease to apply, although the government announcement did not mention that date expressly.
