About SAST
South Africa Standard Time (SAST) is UTC+2. It is used in South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini.
South Africa Standard Time is UTC+2 with no daylight saving, unchanged since 1903 apart from two wartime years. The whole country keeps it, and so do Lesotho and Eswatini. Against the UK it is two hours ahead in winter and one in summer, which is the shift that catches London–Johannesburg standing calls every March and October.
About NZDT
New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.
New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither SAST nor NZDT shifts with the seasons, so this 11-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM SAST in NZDT?
9:00 AM SAST is 8:00 PM NZDT.
Is NZDT ahead of SAST?
NZDT is 11 hours ahead of SAST.
Which time zone does this use?
SAST is UTC+2 and NZDT is UTC+13. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
