Hema there is lots of plants here and I do not know any of them... :(
James I could not find any closely similar to what you suggested but the closest photo I could find on Google was Leucobrephos brephoids?

nice to see a moth from Africa. Hope that you find the ID soon.Including the types of trees in it's vicinity can help. weeds and plants too.Knowing the host plant for the Larva aids in ID.Including altitude is helpful too.
