Gauteng police say six Zimbabwean nationals were caught with perlemoen valued at three-million-Rands in Walkerville, south of Johannesburg.

The police’s Lungelo Dlamini says police discovered the perlemoen, which was about to be smuggled to Zimbabwe after a tip-off from the public.

The delicacy was hidden in 336 bags of potatoes.

Police are searching for the owner of a truck on which the perlemoen was packed as he is believed to be a member of a smuggling syndicate.
