Okay, Blomme, let's tackle these travel plan calculations.

1.1.1

Assumption: Based on the information in Frame 1, this question is likely asking about Mandisa's arrival in Beijing, not Bongwa's.

  1. Identify Mandisa's departure details and time zones.

    Mandisa departs from Bangkok at 05:00 on 7 October.
    Flight duration: 5 hours.
    Destination: Beijing.
    Bangkok time zone (BKK): UTC+7.
    Beijing time zone (BJT): UTC+8.

  2. Calculate the arrival time in Bangkok's time zone.

    Departure time=05:00 on 7 October (Bangkok time)\text{Departure time} = 05:00 \text{ on 7 October (Bangkok time)} Arrival time (Bangkok)=05:00+5 hours=10:00 on 7 October\text{Arrival time (Bangkok)} = 05:00 + 5 \text{ hours} = 10:00 \text{ on 7 October}
  3. Adjust for the time difference to Beijing.

    Beijing is 1 hour ahead of Bangkok (UTC+8 vs UTC+7).

    Arrival time (Beijing)=10:00 on 7 October+1 hour=11:00 on 7 October\text{Arrival time (Beijing)} = 10:00 \text{ on 7 October} + 1 \text{ hour} = 11:00 \text{ on 7 October}

    Mandisa will arrive in Beijing at 11:00 on 7 October\boxed{\text{11:00 on 7 October}}.

    1.1.2

    Assumption: Based on the information in Frame 2, this question is likely asking about Bongwa's arrival in London, not Mandisa's.

  4. Identify Bongwa's departure details and time zones.

    Bongwa departs from OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) at 20:00 on 21 October.
    Flight duration: 11 hours.
    Destination: London.
    Johannesburg time zone (SAST): UTC+2.
    London time zone (BST) on 21 October: UTC+1 (London was still observing Daylight Saving Time, British Summer Time, on this date in 2018).

  5. Calculate the arrival time in Johannesburg's time zone.

    Departure time=20:00 on 21 October (Johannesburg time)\text{Departure time} = 20:00 \text{ on 21 October (Johannesburg time)} Arrival time (Johannesburg)=20:00+11 hours=31:00 on 21 October\text{Arrival time (Johannesburg)} = 20:00 + 11 \text{ hours} = 31:00 \text{ on 21 October} 31:00 on 21 October=07:00 on 22 October31:00 \text{ on 21 October} = 07:00 \text{ on 22 October}
  6. Adjust for the time difference to London.

    London is 1 hour behind Johannesburg (UTC+1 vs UTC+2).

    Arrival time (London)=07:00 on 22 October−1 hour=06:00 on 22 October\text{Arrival time (London)} = 07:00 \text{ on 22 October} - 1 \text{ hour} = 06:00 \text{ on 22 October}

    Bongwa will arrive in London at 06:00 on 22 October\boxed{\text{06:00 on 22 October}}.

    1.1.3

    a)

  7. Identify the time zones for South Africa and London during DST.

    South Africa (Johannesburg) is UTC+2.
    London during DST (British Summer Time, BST) is UTC+1.

  8. Calculate the time difference.

    Time difference=(UTC+2)−(UTC+1)=1 hour\text{Time difference} = (\text{UTC+2}) - (\text{UTC+1}) = 1 \text{ hour}

    South Africa is 1 hour ahead of London.

    The answer to Bongwa's question is 1 hour\boxed{\text{1 hour}}.

    b)
    One reason for the answer in 1.1.3(a) is that South Africa Standard Time (SAST) is UTC+2, while London, when observing Daylight Saving Time (British Summer Time, BST), is UTC+1.
