How prayer times are calculated in South Africa

Times for the 974 cities we cover in South Africa use the MWL convention, which sets the twilight angles for Fajr and Isha. If your mosque follows a different authority, its times may differ by a few minutes — the astronomy is identical, only the convention changes.

Muslim World League — Fajr 18°, Isha 17°. Default across Europe.

Frequently asked questions

How many cities in South Africa are covered?

We calculate prayer times for 974 cities and towns in South Africa, each from its own coordinates rather than borrowed from a nearby larger city.

Which calculation method is used for South Africa?

The MWL convention is applied across South Africa by default, matching the authority most widely recognised there. Every city page states the method it used.

Do prayer times vary across South Africa?

Yes. Times shift with longitude and latitude, so cities in South Africa can differ by several minutes — and considerably more in countries spanning multiple time zones. Johannesburg is shown first as the largest city, but use your own city's page for accurate times.
