Dear Valda,
Apart from guessing that it is a member of the Glaucidae, I can't really say much more. It has a rather striking colour pattern, but I am unable to match it with any description I can find from South Africa or the rest of the Indo-West Pacific for that matter. If it is named hopefully some one will recognise it and let us know.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
