the last one looks like an immature widow of some kind.

First is from Eresidae family but not Eresus genus (they dont live in South Africa)

I think Gandanameno sp. but not for sure

hi,
2nd one is a Steatoda sp. imo
EDIT:
3rd one could also be Latrodectus rhodesiensis Mackay, 1972. According to Lotz (1994) Latrodectus geometricus and Latrodectus rhodesiensis both occur in southern Africa and can be destinguished by the amount of loops in spermathecae of females and embolus at males (both 5 at L. rhodesiensis).
