Johannesburg Business Pulse

- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. South African business culture is direct and professional. Be aware of "Load Shedding" (scheduled power outages) which can affect your contact's availability and connectivity; it is a common professional courtesy to check on this.

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
