Similar spotting. I'm of the opinion that it is an Ichneumon Wasp :http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/99626002

Thanks for the ID tip! If you look at the wing tips they are slightly black in colour. I will do some googling.

Braconid wasp, maybe Archibracon servillei but part of wing should be black. http://www.ispot.org.za/node/180402 http://southafricaninsects.wordpress.com/bees-and-wasps-hymenoptera/braconid-wasp-archibracon-servillei-2/
