Scorpion I.D

Hello!
Can anyone identify this scorpion for me (I hope the picture shows on here)
It was found in Pringle Bay under a rock. I don't have an accurate description of the size, sorry.
Thanks
Kyle

Definitely Opistacanthus capensis. They are like cockroaches down here in the Western Cape.
