Sasa = now ni = is saa = hours/time tatu = 3 asubuhi = morning
So it's basically saying that it's now 3 o'clock (swahili time) in the morning as opposed to 'saa tatu jioni' which would be 3 o'clock in the evening/night (9pm)

Is "asubuhi" necessary here? "Saa tatu" would be three hours after 6am, which is unambiguously 9am. By contrast. 3pm would be "saa tisa," nine hours after 6am, wouldn't it?
