The victims are all models who worked for the production company.
Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Brenda Muridili, said they were attacked by a group of armed men on Thursday.
She said in a brief statement, that the assailants also robbed them of their belongings.
Muridili says Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant-General, Elias Mawela, has mobilised maximum resources to hunt down the perpetrators which already resulted in the arrest of three suspects.
