South African slang shortening of 'boerewors' -- the traditional South African coiled beef sausage seasoned with coriander and spices. Boerewors is central to South African braai (barbecue) culture, and 'wors' as an abbreviation is completely natural in everyday South African English. Saying 'throw some wors on the braai' is as unremarkable in SA as 'put the sausages on the grill' elsewhere.
He brought a coil of wors from the butcher and it was gone within minutes of hitting the braai.
