It's Dicronorrhina derbyana divortialis.
"...On the shores of Lake Malawi exist totally green forms, often confused with oberthuri but are distinguished by the specific characters: In the form divortialis Kolbe there are often primers white lines in front of pronotum and shoulders. some specimens have the white border only to pronotum and others only to elytra..."

Thank you for the ID.
I do have some more which, as you say are totally green, but you just know that they are not oberthuri.
Regards
Peter
