Harpactira sp. of some sort. Not sure which species exactly. You could try Arachnoboards or Tarantula Forum for a better response.

Thanks once again LittleSlingLover: I followed your clue, and landed up at Tarantupedia as Arachnoboards was not that user-friendly.

This is the closest I have come to matching it.

Pterinochilus lapalala – female and this link for source and better references/photos

Another thing I found at turantupedia.com is their map facility, which led me to the actual find, geographically locating it. Zoomed into South Africa, then into Polokwane just north of Pretoria.

I am not an Arachnologist, so this is my best match, for now.
