This is a Lynx Spider, Peucetia striata, in the family Oxyopidae. Your beautifully detailed photo shows great views of the pedipalps and allows working through the identification keys. The other species with very similar genetalia (Peucetia nicolae) has only been collected in the area surrounding Capetown, while P. striata is more widespread in the northeast of the country and surrounding areas to the north.
