Man's biltong worth over R37k seized at USA airport
Briefly News reported a related story about a South African man who declared his biltong worth over R37,000 at a US airport.
The man reportedly asked the customs officials not to destroy his goods, but they refused because cured meat is prohibited in the country. Many South Africans felt the man's pain and said the North American country declared war, while others said he should've followed the law.
