The largest sundial in Africa is in Hankey, somewhere in the Eastern Cape. Here is a not-so-large pic of it, http://qwerty.co.za/sundials/photos/hankey.jpg

In the Patensie area, Eastern Cape. The dial is 37m in diameter. The gnomon is made out of a woodenpole and the dial is made of concrete blocks. It was erected by Mr. D Schellinghout in 1988.

My fist guess would have been in Egypt. But, Porgie seems to have been on the right track. Even when I googled it, and it said Patensie, I still did not want to believe it. Porgie is right, Hankey and Patensie are close to each other.
