Can anybody help to identify this South African cloth badge. It is possible Commando Unit related

Hi Joepe, I have a badge like this too, but can't place it. Regards Andrew

What size is the badge? If around 30 - 40mm, then this looks like an team patch for the Voortrekker movement (Afrikaans youth movement much like the boy scouts and girl guides)
The teams are identified by an animal. This is either a leopard or cheetah team. There are hundreds of these animal team badges.
