Why Panchang in Johannesburg differs from India
The five limbs of Panchang — Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — come from the positions of the Sun and Moon, but the "day" they belong to starts at local sunrise. Johannesburg runs 3 hours 30 minutes behind India, so an India-timed Panchang may not match the date and timings locally.
That is why an India-timed Panchang is not directly usable in Johannesburg: a vrat fast, a puja muhurat and Rahu Kaal all need to be counted from sunrise here.
The Africa/Johannesburg zone does not observe daylight saving, so the offset from India is the same all year.
How to use these timings
Rahu Kaal is one of eight equal parts of daylight and moves with the weekday. New work, purchases and the start of a journey are traditionally avoided inside it.
Abhijit Muhurat is a short favourable window around local noon, taken from the eighth of fifteen equal parts of the daylight period.
Choghadiya splits day and night into eight slots each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are treated as favourable, and Rog, Kaal and Udveg are usually avoided for a new beginning.

What time zone is the Johannesburg Panchang calculated in?+
Johannesburg local time (Africa/Johannesburg), which is 3 hours 30 minutes behind India. The date shown is this city's calendar day.
How is Rahu Kaal calculated for Johannesburg?+
Sunrise to sunset in Johannesburg is divided into eight equal parts, and one part per weekday belongs to Rahu. It is arithmetic on local sunrise, not a guess.
Will festival dates be the same as in India?+
Most festivals are stated on the Indian Panchang day. Where a vrat is observed from local sunrise, the date in Johannesburg can fall a day either side — so we say which basis we are using rather than hiding it.
