Looks surprisingly similar to our holarctic S. stercoraria (therefore 'soror' = 'sister'?).
Best regards,

I used https://kmkjournals.com/journals/REJ/REJ_Index_Volumes/REJ_18/REJ_18_4_299_308_Ozerov
where Ozerov gives only S. soror for S Africa. He is also wrote African manual.
May be he changed his opinion? Tomorrow I will ask him.
