Here are some little bugs -- wasps? flies? -- for which I need ID help. These were seen at Olifantsbos in the Cape Point section of TMNP in early January 2015.

arks, the small ones are either Apidae or Flower Bees/Sweat Bees in the family Halictidae

The one in the pink Carpobrotus, resembles in shape a Ceratina -O-

The white-faced one perhaps another Allodapula variegata

The small one in the yellow sourfig might be in the subfamily Halictinae and Lasioglossum


But this only a guess 0:
