East African small game spear

After the speedy response I got from you folks about my "polynesian" Zande Spear I am encouraged. What I was bidding on in the auction that got the Zande spear as boot, was this Spear described as East African. The Spear is 56 inches long. With a very light thin blade and light thin shaft. The hafting appears to be rattan.

Can anyone give me a more specific ID?

You folks may make me into an edge weapon collector yet!

This is a typical southern/ South African throwing spear. It looks like it is a true old one.
