What time is Fajr in Riebeek-Kasteel today?

Fajr in Riebeek-Kasteel begins at 06:08 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Riebeek-Kasteel?

Which calculation method is used for Riebeek-Kasteel?
