About the time in Charlestown
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 05:42 local time, giving 11h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-27.41, 29.87) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Charlestown.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Charlestown day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Clocks in Charlestown stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +2 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in South Africa.
