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

Shakaskraal, the Sun and the clock

Shakaskraal is in KwaZulu-Natal and has about 27,000 people. The nearest larger city is KwaDukuza, 15 km to the north-northeast. Shakaskraal lies 1.2° east of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 5 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:55, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Shakaskraal: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 84° above the horizon in December and only 37° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Shakaskraal range from 10h 15m in June to 14h 2m in December, a difference of 3h 47m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Shakaskraal 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 Shakaskraal 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 Shakaskraal, calculated with the same method.
