A construction worker has unearthed more than R1-million stashed away in a cooler box in Edenvale.
Rodgers Nkuna, 25, was digging up a six-metre trench for the drainage system near a building in 10th Avenue when he came across a mud-spattered blue and white cooler box at about 10am on Monday.
"For a moment he thought it was a bomb, before he notified the metro police, who came and opened the container, which seems to have been hidden underground for a long time," said Ekurhuleni metro police spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng.
"It contained R50 and R20 notes worth an estimated R1.5-million," he said.
