A quirky convenience store in Wirral is fast becoming the epicentre of Merseyside's South African community.
Boets Biltong, on Wallasey Road in Liscard, began welcoming customers in September last year, after owner, Nigel Biffen, spotted a gap in the market for a shop stocking authentic South African goods. Nigel, 66, came to England in 2020, before settling in Wirral last August.
He told the ECHO: “I’m originally from Zimbabwe, but I moved to Johannesburg in 1983. I now live in Spital. My grandparents were English, so it was just like a return to my roots.
