Erica demissa

I would say E.demissa based on the stoutness of the style.

Ok. Could be E. demissa.
Although key says stigma is simple?

Stigma looks capitate to me (in both this and Nicky's obs). Bredenkamp (2019), compiled by S. P. Bester describes E. demissa as having a stoutish style and a peltate-capitate stigma. E. simulans is described as having large, lobed stigma (clavate-capitate).

Interesting. Thanks for that info. That would fit as most of the observations show more than just a 'simple stigma"
I guess the "Southern Cape Erica" key , which refers to a simple stigma in E. demissa - is out of date on that one!.
