Shanghai is 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg. Put the other way round: Johannesburg is 6 hours behind Shanghai.
Johannesburg is UTC+2 in summer and UTC+2 in winter; Shanghai is UTC+8 and UTC+8.
Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 2 hours in common: 09:00 to 11:00 in Johannesburg, which is 15:00 to 17:00 in Shanghai. Those are the hours to aim a call at.
Neither Johannesburg nor Shanghai changes its clocks, so this gap is the same every day 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.
