Lesotho applies these alongside its own rules. A national rule that states its own figure wins.

Gold counts toward the R100,000 excess-currency threshold per the travelers page's own currency-declaration list ('South African bank notes as well foreign currency, securities and gold'); drop or re-source the 'same page ... restricted goods requiring permit' cross-reference, since that quote comes from a different SARS URL (the guide-to-duty-free-allowances page), not from this row's cited source_url.

When allowances combine
-
A husband and wife (or any two people) traveling together may not add their individual duty-free allowances together to cover one item priced above the per-person limit; the guide's own example is a couple that may not jointly claim a combined R10,000 allowance against a single television worth R9,000.
