Found at the Mlawula Nature reserve lodge, early morning.

Hi Tiz, I think your original ID is correct. Google brings up a lot of images, yes, but most of them are irrelevant.
Ye, could be. Or I might just add the genus to this spotting...
Again, thanks Fanie! I hope the weather in cape is better now!
Might be another Trimen's false tiger (Agoma trimenii).
