Sharp-eyed police investigating a house robbery in Cape Town's Mowbray made an unexpected discovery of R10m worth of abalone on Friday, a spokesperson said.
Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut said police were investigating a complaint that seven people had robbed the house in Strubens Road, but then they realised the house was being used as an abalone processing plant.
A search of the premises led to the discovery of the massive haul of abalone and equipment used to process it for exporting.

Idle curiosity: Do you say "AB-a-loan" or "abba-LOW-knee"?

As far as I can tell, South Africans are the only people in the known universe who pronounce it the first way. The rest of the planet say abba-LOW-knee".

I prefer "perlemoen".

Perlemoen.

But I pronounce it the correct way. Same with anemone.
