It was found in Gauteng, I first thought of the padloper but it’s quite round and not very flat, do you get ones that are more round?It is a padloper. Probably Chersobius boulengeri. The Dwarf Padloper. Could possibly be the Nama Padloper Chersobius solus, especially if found along the very west of South Africa. Hard to tell as babies.
