About Johannesburg
Johannesburg is South Africa's economic heart, a city built on the gold-mining boom and now home to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and the head offices of many of the country's major companies. Its OR Tambo International Airport is a key hub for flights around Africa, and the city's history includes Soweto and the Apartheid Museum.
South Africa uses South Africa Standard Time at UTC+2 with no daylight saving, and the entire country runs on this single zone. As a result, Johannesburg is level with Paris and Berlin during the European summer and one hour ahead of them in winter. Compared with London, it is one hour ahead in summer and two hours ahead in winter.
