"I don't remember it at all. It was 13 years ago and I was not expecting that parcel from him at all. When I got a notification, I was expecting something tiny and mysterious. It wasn't on my mind at all. it was really shocking when it arrived."
The South African Post Office says it's launched an investigation after a Durban family's parcel was delivered more than a decade after it was posted.
SAPO spokesperson Suzzie Khumalo says the South African Post Office is only allowed to keep parcels for 60 days before returning them to where it was posted from.
