Compared with policing tourists, policing meat imports is relatively easy. For all the seeming sweep of the new restrictions, there is simply not that much to restrict. With beef from the U.K. already banned because of mad-cow disease, the hardest-hit imports will be pork and goat, mostly from the Netherlands and Denmark.

Residents in these infertile scrublands remain dirt poor and dependent on income from emigrant relatives. Their homes are only now receiving electricity and running water. A lone goat bleating often punctuates the usual rural stillness, but when people gather for traditional ceremonies the landscape reverberates with songs of courting and dances of war. Isicathamiya embraces both these vibrant customs and the modern cultural innovations brought by Zulu workers living in cosmopolitan cities such as Durban...
