Thanks for the sighting @HelenCross !! I don't recognise this immediately - I'd need to take some time to research it. It looks beautiful!!

I found another one of these jumping spiders on 24 March 2025 in the vicinity of the first one. It was much smaller but had the same elongated body shape and markings. Is there a species name or is the family the closest we can get? Both spiders were in Themeda grassland (weeding it).

I'm not the most familiar with Simaethula species, so I'll confirm it at genus level until someone says otherwise

Simaethula sp. (genus)
