South African Muslims furious at 'halal pork' scandalSouth African Muslims have reacted with outrage to allegations that a leading meat importer labelled pork as halal.
The head of Cape Town-based Orion Cold Storage said he had received death threats since the allegation surfaced. He says he is the victim of a smear campaign by rival businesses.
Muslim companies have obtained a court order banning Orion from using the halal label, which means food has been prepared according to Islamic law.
Muslims are banned from eating pork.
That's a pretty brutal smear campaign if it's true.
