Gaborone clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Clocks in Gaborone are set to CAT, 2 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+02:00). Software that asks for a region wants Africa/Gaborone — the IANA identifier for this zone.
Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+02:00 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Gaborone.
