I have identified this one as being a
Ceroplesis capensis, I wonder whether it has a name in English... Seen at Mkhuze Reserve

Doing a Google search I found this:
https://www.ispotnature.org/communities ... s-capensis
There it's called a Rooibos Longhorn Beetle.

I am not too sure that it is a Ceroplesis capensis; there are many Ceroplesis and this one has straight stipes on the body while the the Capensis has kind of more "spot" stripes. I'll try to find it and then add it to the Insect book
Have a look here

This is the one that comes closest, but it is not right either
Ceroplesis thunbergii

It is out of range for Ceroplesis capensis, which is found in SW Cape only. And the pronotum is without large tubercles
Might be C. sumptuosa, C. militaris or C. thunbergii (pronotum should be brown).
Difficult without the rear end to see.
