Central Africa Time, or CAT, is a time zone used in central and southern Africa. The zone is two hours ahead of UTC (UTC+2), which is the same as the adjacent South Africa Standard Time and also the same as Eastern European Time.
As this time zone is predominantly in the equatorial region, there is no significant change in day length throughout the year, so no daylight savings are observed.
Central Africa Time is used by the following countries:
Burundi
Botswana
Democratic Republic of the Congo (eastern)
Malawi
Mozambique
Rwanda
Zambia
Zimbabwe
