A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_South_Africa "South Africa signed up to use ISO 8601 for date and time representation through national standard ARP 010:1989 in 1998.". ISO 8601 uses the 24h clock system. When creating localized time information with the south african locale a 12h time output instead of a 24h variant is created.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
System.out.println(((SimpleDateFormat)SimpleDateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, new Locale("en","za"))).toPattern());

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
HH:mm
ACTUAL -
h:mm a
