# <http://allafrica.com/stories/200703300178.html>:

# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other

# settlements in Caprivi unofficially will not because the sun there

# rises and sets earlier compared to other regions. Chief of

# Forecasting Riaan van Zyl explained that the far eastern parts of

# the country are close to 40 minutes earlier in sunrise than the rest

# of the country.

#

# From Paul Eggert (2007-03-31):

# Apparently the Caprivi Strip informally observes Botswana time, but

# we have no details. In the meantime people there can use Africa/Gaborone.
