Abidjan Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal, relationship-heavy, and the economic powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. French is the primary business language; ensure you are fluent or have translation for technical talks. Personal relationships are vital. Hierarchy is respected, and a professional, polite tone is essential for success.

Cape Town Business Pulse

  • Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
