I think... maybe

#1 Sickle Bush (Cadichrostachys cinerea)
#2 Wild Morning Glory (Ipomea cairica if small leaves, oblongata, if bigger leaves)
#3 could be Lion's eyes (Tridicera longipedunca)
#4 Snake Lily (Scadoxus multiflorus)

Hi Naomi, I would say that the first plant looks to me like Babiana hypogea also known as the Baboon Onion.

The second unfortunately I don't have a clue perhaps a guru can help here.
