Hi and thanks for your contribution/photo. I have downloaded one of the original photos, enlarged it and added it back to aid in identification.

Hard to see the floret detail but I would suggest this looks more like Ehrharta erecta. Panic veldt grass

Thanks for the comment Mervyn. I have Ehrharta erecta in my backyard, and this specimen is not the same.
