The time right now in the capital city of South Africa may as well be different from yours. It could be the same, depending on where you are at the moment. \u00a0In fact, Cape Town Time is not necessarily the same as that of every part of South Africa.<\/p>\n
There are different times that exist in the world. Some parts of the world have more than one time zone.\u00a0France has over 10 time zones.<\/p>\n
Other countries that have more than 10 time zones include Russia, and United States of America. The UK, however, has 9 time zones while Australia and Canada have over 5. This, however, is not the case with South Africa and Cape Town.<\/p>\n
Cape Town time shares the same time with a majority of other parts of South Africa. This time is referred to as South African Standard Time (SAST). This time is also shared by other countries in Southern Africa including Lesotho and Swaziland.<\/p>\n
SAST, however, is as well used in other parts of the world, although by different names. These include Central African Time, Central European Summer Time, and Israel Standard Time. The Bravo Time Zone and West African Summer Time are as well as the South African Standard Time. Countries in the Bravo Time Zone include Egypt, Norway, and Hungary among others.<\/p>\n
