Authorities said the wounded were taken to hospital.
The shooting comes weeks after gunmen opened fire on an unlicensed tavern at a hostel in Saulsville township near the capital Pretoria, killing a dozen people, including a three-year-old child.
Shootings in South Africa, which faces high levels of violence, are often fuelled by criminal groups and competition between informal businesses.
