Hello all,
 
These birds are most definitely Doves of the genus Streptopelia. The dark colouration around the throat is due to staining (quite regular in this genus) and the species is most likely Spotted Turtle-Dove (has scalloping on wing, rounded tail etc) the spots are there, but are hard to see.

Namaqua + European Collared Dove:
