About the time in Gaborone
Around 231,626 people live in Gaborone, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Gaborone runs on Africa/Gaborone, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Africa/Gaborone is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Gaborone keeps pointing at Gaborone time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
