Why people convert PET to Johannesburg time

Scheduling a call from PET to Johannesburg: a 10:00 AM start in PET lands at 5:00 PM in Johannesburg, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both PET and Johannesburg are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM PET time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM SAST). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: PET viewers need 4:00 PM in Johannesburg to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 5:00 PM if the event is anchored to PET.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM PET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from PET and need Johannesburg colleagues present.
