Time difference between Johannesburg and Mexico City
Mexico City is 8 hours behind Johannesburg
Johannesburg, South Africa is UTC+2 · Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 — on standard time
The gap holds all year
Neither city changes its clocks — Johannesburg does not change its clocks and Mexico City does not change its clocks — so 8 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Johannesburg and nine-to-five in Mexico City do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
