The sound of the city

Cape Town is the home of Cape jazz — Abdullah Ibrahim's Mannenberg became an anthem of the anti-apartheid struggle — and of the goema rhythms of the Kaapse Klopse, the city's New Year minstrel carnival. Freshlyground and Die Antwoord both started out in Cape Town. South African radio, jazz radio and African radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Cape Town keeps South African Standard Time — two hours ahead of UTC all year, with no daylight saving.
