Mdantsane does not change its clocks; times stay on Africa/Johannesburg all year. How times are calculated

Mdantsane, the Sun and the clock

Mdantsane is in Eastern Cape and has about 210,000 people. The nearest larger city is East London, 16 km to the southeast. Mdantsane lies 2.2° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 9 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:09, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Mdantsane: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 81° above the horizon in December and only 34° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Mdantsane range from 9h 59m in June to 14h 20m in December, a difference of 4h 21m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Mdantsane is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then.

Maghrib time Mdantsane compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Mdantsane, calculated with the same method.
