When to rely on these times

Planning salah from home, work, or a hotel in this city — use the table: it matches a commonly used method that Aladhan returns for the coordinates on this page (Africa/Johannesburg).
Joining a congregational adhān or a printed jadwal — match the masjid or official timetable; line-of-sight sunset and local rules can move Maghrib or Isha by a few minutes.
If you sleep or drive outside this city — open the prayer page for that place; a neighbouring city is a different grid, not a tweak of the same one.
