I told you we need the entire plant and most important the leaves and some habitat info
It's a
Crossandra, please check here and tell us what the plant looks like
Crossandra greenstockii Bushveld Crossandra
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/429223 ... wse_photos
Crossandra zuluensis Zululand Crossandra
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/575080 ... wse_photos
However, your photos show the bracts close-up
I think, it's
C. greenstockii, with softly hairy bracts, slightly spiny on the margins
In
C. zuluensis, the bracts are rather hairless and strongly spined on the margins
