I do not have that one. Maybe a chat flycatcher.

Nan, I think that it is a chat Flycatcher, because I do not see anything chestnut coloured, nor the rump nor the outer tail nor the chin. This does not mean that Dewi is wrong, but........... -O-

I'm thinking African Goshawk. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

When I see a grey Goshawk in the Kgalagadi, I usually identify it as a Pale Chanting Goshawk without thinking too much. But I may be mistaken. When Peter posted his picture of a Gabar Goshawk, it reminded me of that bird :

Sorry, the picture is a bit blurred, but could it be a juvenile Gabar ? I think it is difficult to differentiate the 3 (Gabar, Pale and Dark Chanting). If someone has some tips on these species.
