Addis Ababa Business Pulse

  • Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

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.
