Working across Johannesburg and Buenos Aires

Johannesburg is a mining city and Buenos Aires a agribusiness city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Buenos Aires it is already 5 hours later in Johannesburg.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Johannesburg typically 08:00–17:00 and Buenos Aires 09:00–18:00 local time. Watch for Heritage Day (24 September) and Freedom Day (27 April) in Johannesburg and Carnival (Monday and Tuesday in February or March) and May Revolution Day (25 May) in Buenos Aires. Replies slow in Johannesburg during mid-December to mid-January and in Buenos Aires during January, the summer holidays.

Book between 14:00–17:00 in Johannesburg (09:00–12:00 in Buenos Aires); 3 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
