Date and time notation in South Africa

South Africa signed up to use ISO 8601 for date and time representation through national standard ARP 010:1989 in 1998.

Date

Even so, the old date format is still commonly used in the format "dd/mm/yyyy", with the "day month year" order being more common with non-numeric month designations.

Time

The old time format is also still commonly used in the format "hh:mm AMPM" The use of "h" as a time separator is still common (e.g., 13h25 in place of 13:25), particularly when only the time is given.
