Daylight Saving - its now time for South Africa to follow suit
For several months every year, daylight saving time (DST) affects well over a billion people in 70 countries throughout the world.
Yet most people switch their clocks backward and forward without ever understanding where this revolutionary idea came from or how, throughout its history, DST has led to surprisingly contentious clashes between numerous politicians, scientists, and interest groups all across the globe.
Daylight Saving times proposed:
Start: 01h59.59 1st Sunday in September
End: 02h59.59 1st Sunday in April

Daylight Saving would not only save electricity, but could also increase productivity. The short cool period at the start of each summer day would now extend into working hours.

Daylight savings would also be a great help for those of us women using public transportation who should not do so after dark. I'm not sure about how much of our crime occurs at night, but I think crime could be reduced with longer daylight hours.

SA has a major electricity crisis. Introducing daylight saving would immediately contribute to lowering demand, and give citizens more time to enjoy outdoor activities in the evenings.

I grew up in Europe where daylight saving is part of everyone's life. Please lets get this going here in South Africa, it will not only benefit the energy saving campaign but will enhance our quality of life ! Lets get an extra hour every day !!!
