In South Africa the Muslim Judicial Council and the Jamiatul Ulama announce Ramadan after local sighting.
Through 2027, Fajr in Cape Town moves between 3:45 am and 6:23 am, and Maghrib between 5:44 pm and 8:01 pm.
Nearest places: Johannesburg (1,262 km), Durban (1,271 km), Dar es Salaam (3,697 km), Mombasa (3,984 km).
Masjids in Cape Town may publish their own timetable with fixed iqamah times. Use it for congregation; use this page for the start times and for planning.
In the southern hemisphere Ramadan 2027 arrives at the end of summer, so in Cape Town each fast is a little shorter than the one before.
Makkah is 6,558 km from Cape Town; the Qibla points north-east (23° from true north).
At 33.9° latitude the seasons are clear in Cape Town: Fajr drifts by about 158 minutes between winter and summer, so a timetable from one month is no use in another.
That first fast is 26 minutes longer than the average for the other cities we list in South Africa.
Cape Town keeps the same clock all year (no daylight saving time), so its timetable has no one-hour jumps.
Solar noon in Cape Town comes around 12:46 pm, roughly 46 minutes after 12:00 on the clock, so Dhuhr here starts later than the time zone suggests.
Local timetables use the standard Asr (shadow equal to an object's length), as the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools do; switch to Hanafi in the settings if your masjid follows it.
