JOHANNESBURG - Shipments containing wigs and hair extensions are increasingly being hijacked upon arrival in South Africa.
The increased incidents of theft have led to wigs and hair extensions becoming one of the most insured goods in the country.
According to Hollard, hair extension imports to South Africa have increased by 64 percent in the last four years.
Imports total approximately R1.1-billion per year.
Hair has become more popular in recent years, but it is expensive, and the black market is now taking advantage of the increased demand.
Hollard says that it has seen an increase of 37 percent in claims related to hair extensions over the last year.

That article is really vague, where are the shipments of imported wigs getting hijacked, the container terminal, customs, DHL?
And the point about Hollard I’m assuming is totally unrelated to that point and is referring to personal insurance and individuals getting robbed of their wigs.
Human hair wigs and extensions cost a few thousand rand, a high quality full head long hair wig will cost around R4k+, still who tf buys a 2hnd wig??
