Procavia capensis
Thanks, @Emilie & @Robby for the correct ID :)

Nice pictures, but I think this is not a rodent, but a mammal belonging to the Procaviidae family, far away relatives of elephants. It is called "dassie" in Afrikaans. Maybe Procavia capensis.
Thanks, @Laurne :)
Wonderful pictures and so cute.
