changing the time zone in aix

hi
may aix version is 6100-06-03-1048
when i give date command it shows the time zone as
Code:
root@cbspsgui01 [/] #date
Fri Sep 16 08:43:42 Africa/Johannesburg 2011

I want to change the time zone to GMT +02:00:
After i change the time zone it should show something like the one below when i type the date command:
Fri Sep 16 10:42:28 GMT+02:00 2011

Also should i stop the xntp daemons running before changing the time zone:
Code:
root@cbspsgui01 [/] #lssrc -a | grep -i xntp
 xntpd            tcpip            4194460      active

Please advise. Thanks

please note that you need to reboot for the timezone change to become active
