- 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.
Oslo Business Pulse
