Harpactira hamiltoni.
Harpactira sp. "Porterville" is only found in Porterville as the name suggests (Which is down in Western Cape)

Looks like a sub adult female, but could be mature already.
The bite does hurt as all tarantulas are venomous, but not life threatening.
They require a permit to keep (Just for incase you don't know. :) )
