Raptorial front legs, certainly, but not an ephydrid.
It's
Centrioncus, in Diopsidae, and is "aberrant" in that family by having a normal head, rather than widely spaced antennae and eye-stalks. The raptorial front legs and long scutellar tubercles are typical for the family. I understand that there are quite a few South African species of this genus.
