On March 21, 2016, the sun remained above the horizon for 24 hours. However, on March 22, the sun set at 8:09PM local time, not to rise again until about September 21.
The amount of sunlight at the South Pole on March 21 depends on the year.
When the North Pole has summer, the South Pole has winter. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, causing one pole to receive more direct sunlight (summer) while the other pole receives less direct sunlight (winter).
The North Pole is dark for six months- from the September Equinox (September 21) to the March Equinox (March 21).
Britain is in the northern hemisphere, the South Pole is at the dead centre of the southern hemisphere. If Britain is in the middle of its summer, the South Pole will be in the middle of its winter, therefore, the South Pole will be in darkness.
December 21 (the December solstice) is the day on which the northern hemisphere receives the least hours of daylight.The actual North Pole experiences 6 months of night, from around September 21 to March 21, so December 21 is the middle of the night there.

The South Pole has about 6 months of continuous daylight from September to March, followed by about 6 months of continuous darkness from March to September. During the period of darkness, the South Pole has no direct sunlight for about 4 months.

They have a long dark winter. During the southern winter (March-September), the South Pole receives no sunlight at all. The people who live near the south pole are scientists and they carry on with their scientific activities during the winter.

The Southern Hemisphere would be pointed away from the sun in order for the South Pole to experience 24 hours of darkness -- which occurs at the pole every day between about March 21 and September 21.
Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
The south pole receives the most sunlight in December.
I have been to the South Pole and from the locals it never gets "real sunlight". They say that it is always the reflection of the sun. I have studied there theory and it is true. So the answer to your question is NONE.
