I like the red and white stripes.

Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini, Cyana sp.. Unfortunately there are over 40 species in Africa, most of them look almost identical. My closest guess would be Cyana pretoriae, but yours has not these typical white patches on the hindwing. I would go with Cyana sp. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19033167
