Not sure what this is, but it doesn't look native

Seems the best fit - give opposite leaves with hairy underneath - but size of leaves photographed are a bit small - where they bigger further down the branch?

Yes, they did increase in size, I've come across similar-looking plants recently all of which appear to be African olive, so I think that you're correct.
