If it's a male breed it with a Pastel female AS WELL as a plain-as-can-be normal female.
If it's displaying a genetic trait of some sort I'd want to prove it out independently just as much as I'd want to make crosses with it.
I would not be the slightest bit surprised if that animal is co-dom with the Super being a white snake of some sort. Why?
a) Some of the 'het for white' balls (Russo's het leucistics, YellowBellies, Mochas, and Fires for examples) are not as drastically 'non-normal' as others (Lesser Platinums, Butters, Mojave).
b) With so many YellowBellies being imported, it's likely that there are visually comparable balls slithering around Africa. And while they may appear slightly different than the YBs they likely produce the same (white snake) when linebred.
If it's a male, breed him to a female normal, keep back all of the females and breed them back to daddy. That's what I, and I'm sure alot of folks on here, would do. 
Congrats on a great find. Best of Luck. Keep us posted.
