Research indicates that this is the larval form of Harmonia axyridis, or the Asian Ladybeetle. Native to Asia, it is now established in almost all parts of the world, including North, Central, and South America, Europe, Israel and South Africa. Propagated for its voracious appetite for aphids, it is now invasive and considered a pest.
I was fascinated with the little tufts on its back.
I don't know if I have seen such a bug. I do know that South Africa has been invaded by a species of ladybird that is detrimental to our naturally occurring ladybird species.
That's the one with the M when its an adult. They will bite and emit a stink from their back legs if threatened. This is a great article to help tell the differences between our native and the invader. https://www.thespruce.com/good-and-bad-ladybugs-2656236
