The first and second pic would technically not be indigenous to South Africa and should go under exotic non venomous.
We do have Dasypeltis medici but only the nominate race. I have only ever seen two of these found in Northern KZN near the Mozambique border.
Apartjie dont ask me the specifics but I have an idea the word Lamprophis has something to do with the shine on these snakes. I must say that specimen is particularly shiny too. Always a sign of a healthy snake.

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Thanks alot for the info given about select species, and really sorry about the mix-up, hopefully will not happen again.
You mentioned "Northern KZN near the Mozambique border", where is KZN exactly? Thanks...

KZN (Kwa Zulu Natal) is a province in South Africa that runs along the eastern coast up to Mozambique, whip out a world map and you should see it pretty easily.
