Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 05:47 local time, giving 11h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-28.77, 28.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Butha-Buthe.
The zone identifier Africa/Maseru is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Maseru keeps pointing at Maseru time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
