Yes, mnm, that is not a Southern African lizard.
The one you mentioned immediately came to mind when I saw your photo, but I am not sure about an i.d. since I do not know those lizards. |

I took photos of these guys at Mapungubwe's Confluence lookout in 2008 and sent my pics to Johan Marais. He id'ed them as Platysaurus intermedius cf. rhodesianus, commonly known as the Common Flat lizard.
The ones at Mapungubwe being different from the ones found elsewhere in the country. |

Definitely a ground agama (Agama aculeata) in the previous pic. And the flat lizzard P.intermedius rhodesianus has now been raised to a species Platysaurus rhodesianus, and I agree about the ID. They are extremely common there, but difficult to photograph so well done!
