Hi
Here are 2 more following previous post. The first was in a coastal palm forest in KZN and the second was in the same pool as the 2 in the previous post (nr PMB, KZN).
Cheers

The first one looks like a reed frog (Hyperolius). I would say painted reed frog as they vary quite a bit. The second one I can not be sure.

That's not a reed frog.

That's a Afrixalus sp you can see by the spines.

Afrixalus fornasinii Greater Leaf Folding Frog.

The bottom one looks like a kind of sand frog.
