About the time in Gauteng
The zone identifier Africa/Johannesburg is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Johannesburg keeps pointing at Johannesburg time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:38 and sunset at 06:10 local time, giving 12h 32m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-26.08, 28.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gauteng.
Gauteng sits at latitude -26.08, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 32m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
