This looks like a configuration error. As far as I can see everything is
working as expected.

> `You are 7 hours ahead of server time.`

The default `TIME_ZONE` is `'America/Chicago'`, which is GMT-5.
`'Africa/Johannesburg'` is (as you say) GMT+2, so there's your 7. Best
guess is that your settings aren't applied as you think they are.

However, without more detail it's impossible to say if there's a deeper
error.

If you can create a sample project that demonstrates an issue, then we can
have a look, but short of that, there's nothing we can say.

Thank for you that extra insight, I will see if I can isolate it and make
a sample project.
It appears as though the setting is applied to me:

{{{

>>> from django.conf import settings
>>> settings.TIME_ZONE
'Africa/Johannesburg'
