    Orthoptera, Ensifera, Grylloidea, Phalangopsidae, male nymph... Afrophaloria sp.? Phasmagryllus sp.? Upupagryllus sp.? Luzaropsis sp.? Kempiola sp.? - and I could be totally wrong ;) I can't go further... It is very difficult to identify Orthoptera nymphs, some of them quite impossible by photo. It's my best guess, hope it would help* Cheers!

Possibly Paragryllodes annulipes? If not, something similar in the Family Phalangopsidae, like Rui suggested.
