South Africa has Daylight Saving Time every year from September to April
Thanks for writing in! Our data matches that of timeanddate.com which shows that South Africa only observed DST in the summers of 1942/1943 and 1943/1944 and has not used it since. Are you able to cite a government publication, newspaper, or similarly reputable source that supports your claims to the contrary? Given that these lines in our data haven't been touched since ~1997 and common downstream data providers tend to match it, I would be very surprised if our data for such a populous country were wrong in this way and we hadn't heard about it long ago.
