If I am sending clothing to someone in South Africa (less than $50
worth), what boxes do I need to check?  I don't believe clothing is
charged a duty, but I don't want to make a mistake and have my friend
have to pay to receive the gift.

There is no answer at this time.

A friend of mine sent a package of clothing from Japan to SA and got
charged tariffs, can't tell you how unfortunately. He also had a lot
of times when packages were stolen once it was in South Africa by
postal workers so I would definitely not use them if I were you. Try
using a company like DHL or something.
