To me looks like a “Juicy” otopharnx lithobates. Faintly see the mid bodybspots and the elongated peacock shape. Total guess, been a while since i did Malawi’s. Also I wouldn’t claim it is pure if no scientific name was included. In example “assorted African “.
 
There's a strain of German "Protomelas spilonotus Sulferhead" floating around that look like that. Allegedly line bred... but far from wild-form... so I'd vote hybrid.

Here's what Protomelas spilonotus is supposed to look like
