Sunrise today lands at 06:30 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 11h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-4.97, 23.45) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sankuru.
The zone identifier Africa/Lubumbashi is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Lubumbashi keeps pointing at Lubumbashi time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
