Oh Mike you've just solved a mystery that have been trying to solve for years.
I wonder if the instructor is UK or maybe Commonwealth.

Here is something you'll like !

British Military Advisory and Training Team (BMATT) 1981 to mid-1983

Commandant Colonel Ivey designed an arm patch for BTC Inkomo, which features two spears (on left Mashona and on right Ndebele) and a bayonet taken from the British School of Infantry.

Patch appears to be based on the National Army Logo which was used on training books.

I'm lost for words, fabulous items and great research.
So we can say that the patch was worn by BMATT Training Centre Staff at Inkomo Garrison.
Great that we now even know who designed the badge.
Really pleased,
Many thanks
