Biltong ＆ droewors

Dry curing is a method used to preserve meet by the indigenous tribes of South Africa before fridges were invented. Usually made from beef or game, such as springbok, biltong (a thinly sliced, air-dried meat) and droewors (an air-dried sausage) are traditionally eaten as snacks. The meat is cured in a mixture of vinegar, salt, sugar and spices such as coriander and pepper, then hang to dry. The finished product is prized by health enthusiasts for its high protein and low fat content. Nowadays, biltong and droewors producers often add flavorings such as chill or garlic to the meat and use a variety of meats, such as ostrich and wild boar.

South Africa riots: What's happening and why? 

Dozens of people have died in outbreaks of looting and rioting in parts of South Africa. Shopping centers and businesses in the Gauteng and Kwazulu-Natal provinces have been ransacked.

The violence followed the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma last week. Police are over-stretched and the military has been deployed to support them. The BBC's Vumani Mkhize in Johannesburg explains the situation.
