• A woman shared her displeasure after having to add almost R6.00 for a paper pack

A woman bought a biltong from one of South Africa's retailers but was stunned when almost R6.00 was added to it.

According to a TikTok video uploaded by @mila32ni, she went to the store and bought a biltong. Initially, the person selling it to her weighed and said it was R48.00.

The lady said it was perfect. However, astonishment came after the employee put the biltong in a small paper packet and weighed it again, with the price shooting up to R53.60.
