Cape Town is 1 hour behind Helsinki. Put the other way round: Helsinki is 1 hour ahead of Cape Town.
Helsinki is UTC+3 in summer and UTC+2 in winter; Cape Town is UTC+2 and UTC+2.
Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 7 hours in common: 10:00 to 17:00 in Helsinki, which is 09:00 to 16:00 in Cape Town. Those are the hours to aim a call at.
Helsinki changes its clocks for summer and Cape Town does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 1 hour for the northern summer and 0 minutes for the rest of the year.

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
