Bultfontein is located 347 km south-west of Pretoria, so Dhuhr in Bultfontein is called roughly 8 minutes later than in Pretoria. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Bultfontein.
