Looks more like an Imbabala to me (Tragelaphus sylvaticus), especially considering that this is South Africa.
 
That's also what I thought! But apparently they keep Kewels (Tragelaphus scriptus). I spoke to a zookeeper and that's what I was told. According to ISIS this is correct. This guy also told me they keep Imbabalas as well (in a different enclosure) though I wasn't able to see them.
 
Very nice to keep both species! Only one other zoo in the world with either one of them.
