South African Standard Time stays at UTC+2
Johannesburg currently uses South African Standard Time, UTC+2, without seasonal clock changes. Cape Town and Durban follow the same clock. Johannesburg and Dubai keep a two-hour difference under current rules.
London moves between UTC and UTC+1, so it is either two hours or one hour behind Johannesburg. For a recurring European meeting, confirm the organizer's chosen time zone and recheck around the European clock-change weekends.
