I guess you are correct in the aspect that Biltong is NOT jerky... But it is the best form that I can relate it too...
Biltong is "cured" meat, not cooked...

Next on my list is to try...

"Droëwors (/ˈdruːəvɔrs/; Afrikaans lit. "dry sausage") is a South African snack food, based on the traditional, coriander-seed spiced boerewors sausage.[1] It is usually made from dun wors (Afr. "thin sausage") rather than dik wors ("thick sausage"), as the thinner sausage dries more quickly and is thus less likely to spoil before it can be preserved. If dikwors is to be used, it is usually flattened to provide a larger surface area for drying."
