This spider is a mature male and no doubt has wandered into a human dwelling while searching for a mate. Although its difficult to identify a spider from pictures, I suspect this spider is in the genus Palystes. In South Africa, these are commonly known as rain spiders – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palystes (named as such for entering houses when the rains start.
