On the Zurich side the dates that break a schedule are Swiss National Day (1 August) and Easter Monday (March or April); on the Johannesburg side, Heritage Day (24 September) and Freedom Day (27 April). Replies slow in Zurich during late July to mid-August, and Christmas to early January and in Johannesburg during mid-December to mid-January.
The comfortable window is 09:00–16:00 Zurich time, which is 10:00–17:00 in Johannesburg — 7 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only Zurich changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Johannesburg stays put.
