1 May be Evergreen Forest Warbler? It looks like a Tapaculo!
2 Maybe one of the races of African Citril?

As was the case with similar birds in earlier threads by Notuswinner, I think 3 and 4 have to be juvenile Lesser Masked Weaver because of the dark legs (which seems to eliminate other weavers of the same general shape in this area). The dark eye and pale bill are good for this juvenile also, as is the yellow throat and whiteish belly.

Nobody challenged, but also nobody confirmed, my IDs on those threads.

Photo 5 has pink legs and a yellow/brown eye, and is more yellow underneath, so I would think it has to be a Golden Weaver, presumably African and not Holub's in the location. And juvenile-ish because of the pale bill.

But I'm always willing to be challenged or corrected; I see these birds so rarely.

Andy's 1 and 2 look good to me. These forest warblers must be really difficult to see, and especially to get such good photos of.
 
What a PHENOMENAL shot of that Evergreen forest warbler!!

The last weawer appears to be a Speke's by the way.
