Hi Ocad,
Yes that is a blackened SAAF badge but not necessarily for an officer. All UDF personnel got an issue of blackened badges.
These were first issued in the mid to late 1930's and stopped been worn post WWII (except maybe for certain Artillery units).
The UDF issue of badges can be likened to that of the Australians and not the UK (who used darkened/OSD badges exclusive to officers)
