Hyaena brunnea
The Brown Hyena is a long-haired scavenger (and predator) restricted to the southern part of Africa. They are often shy and nocturnal but do come out during the day as in the case of this individual when there is food around or where they are not heavily persecuted.

Striking photos... the hyena looks a bit worse for wear.
