Johan, I found the ID in the Field guide to butterflies &moths of Southern Africa,It stats that the silk moths are distinct and do not look like any other moths, the common name silk moth Ocinara, scientific name Ocinara ficicola, familiy Bombycidae was given, Did I post the wrong names again, If so I am sorry
I'm not sure about your ID. See link
