In 2014, a group of researchers at the municipal energy office in Durban, South Africa, put together a report to test the idea of DST. In addition to potentially reducing the town's annual electricity consumption between .2 and .5 percent, the researchers hoped to enhance the "lifestyle benefits for Durban residents and tourism" — the latest sunset in Durban is 7 p.m. But South Africa still has not joined the DST bandwagon.
