They were stationed at the Plessislaer and Richmond Police Stations respectively.
The motives for the two attacks are unknown.
Last week Thursday, Constable Royal Ndlovu was shot in the chest when he responded to a domestic dispute in Chatsworth. He died on the scene.
Minister Cele says anyone with information that can assist in the investigations should come forward.
