If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
Not too long. Because, we are way down South doesn't mean we need daylight saving. South Africa experiences all year round sunshine.

The longest night in 2008 occurred after the shortest day. The winter solstice, which marks the shortest day of the year, typically falls around December 21st. This means that the longest night, when the sun sets earliest and rises latest, would be after the winter solstice.
