This results in the abolution of daylight saving time (winter time) in Namibia and introduction of a countrywide year-round single standard time (UTC+2; South African Standard Time (SAST)). Until now, Namibia (except for the Zambezi Region) switched from UTC+2 to UTC+1 on the first Sunday of April and back to UTC+2 on the first Sunday on September.
