* Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days. The 30th fast is kept only if the Shawwal moon is not sighted on the evening of the 29th; otherwise Eid al-Fitr is the next day.
Times are local time in Cape Town (Africa/Johannesburg). Sehri ends when Fajr begins and Iftar is at sunset (Maghrib). Fast length is counted from Fajr to Maghrib. Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, and local moon sighting may move them by a day.
How the times change through Ramadan in Cape Town
Between the first and the 29th fast, Sehri in Cape Town moves about 33 minutes later (4:42 AM to 5:15 AM), and Iftar moves about 32 minutes earlier (7:46 PM to 7:14 PM). As a result the fast grows shorter by about 65 minutes, from 15h 04m to 13h 59m.
The Muslim World League angles are a common default; South Africa has both Shafi (largely Cape) and Hanafi (largely Indian-heritage) communities, so switch the Asr setting to match your mosque. If your mosque follows a different convention, choose it above and the timetable updates. Sehri and Iftar don't depend on the Asr setting, so only the method changes these times.
For breaking the fast, see the dua for breaking the fast and the other Ramadan duas. Daily prayer times for the rest of the year are on the prayer times page for Cape Town, and the Ramadan guide explains the month.

Ramadan in Cape Town: common questions
When does Sehri end in Cape Town on the first day of Ramadan 2027?
If Ramadan begins on Monday 8 February 2027, Sehri in Cape Town ends at 4:42 AM, when Fajr begins, and the fast is opened at Iftar at 7:46 PM. These times use the Muslim World League method, which is the usual choice in South Africa.
How long is the fast in Cape Town during Ramadan 2027?
From Fajr to Maghrib, the first fast lasts about 15h 04m and the 29th about 13h 59m. The longest fast of the month is about 15h 04m and the shortest about 13h 59m.
Why does my mosque in Cape Town show an earlier Sehri time?
Many mosques and printed calendars stop Sehri a few minutes before Fajr as a precaution (ihtiyat), so nobody eats into the time of the fast by mistake. This timetable shows the start of Fajr itself, and you can choose a 5 or 10 minute margin above the table. Mosques may also use a different calculation method.
When will Ramadan 2027 start in Cape Town?
On the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan 1448 begins on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first Sehri in Cape Town ending at 4:42 AM. The actual start in South Africa depends on moon sighting and local announcements and may differ by a day; if it does, tick "Ramadan started a day later here" and the Cape Town timetable moves by one day.
