Things about Mozambique's time.
Mozambique's position just south of the equator means the length of day changes very little throughout the year, which is one reason it never adopted daylight saving time — there simply isn't much practical benefit to shifting clocks. The country sits fully within a single longitudinal band making a one-zone approach the obvious geographic choice, and neighboring countries like Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi share the same UTC+2 cross-border scheduling hassle-free.
