Looks like a WWII German Hauptgefreiter rank Chevron but utilising British army chevrons.
An Afrika Korps item made locally or by unit tailors using captured British insignia?

South African?

Give me time for a bit more fanciful thinking......

Nearest I can find is "South African Air Force Flight Sergeant Rank Cloth Badge" , different colour but same 'flat top' chevrons.
