It is a member of genus Parasphendale, species either agrionina or affinis. I don't know how to distinguish between the two species but I'm sure of the genus. It looks about ready to molt, too, so it will likely be an adult soon. Commonly known as the African Banded Mantis or Bud Wing Ground Mantis
