"Dankie, sweetie!" - Daily Sun

"Horny tokoloshe whispers..." - front page lead, February 12 2015

Daily Sun (February 12 2015) - EXHAUSTED and terrified, Dorah lies in her bed waiting for the attack of the romantic tokoloshe.

And when he finally comes, he holds her, caresses her, kisses her and then, as he does every night, forces her to have sex with him.

AND WHEN HE'S DONE, HE WHISPERS "DANKIE, SWEETIE" BEFORE SLIPPING OUT OF BED.

But Dorah Molefe (62) from Mamelodi, Tshwane said there is nothing romantic about the way the tokoloshe performs once he is on top of her.

She said the short hairy tokoloshe pokes her, leaving her weak and tired with a sore punani.

"I have gone to about 10 sangomas to help chase this evil creature away but nobody has been able to help me."

"I fear going to bed because I know the tokoloshe won't leave me alone. I scream for help but nobody hears me. I try to fight it but it is too strong."

She said it performs like a porn star.

"It kisses and caresses my private parts and then it has violent sex with me."

Dorah said she is appealing to anyone who can help her to get rid of this beast.

"I am not a young woman. I have two adult daughters. I need somebody with strong powers to chase this thing from my house," she said.

She said the tokoloshe also steals her money and even eats food from her house. "I like buying peanut butter but before I eat it, the bottle is empty. I think it is the tokoloshe that likes sweet things," she said.

Dorah showed the SunTeam a mirror she claims the tokoloshe broke.

"I don't know what to do. People just seem to hate me. A sangoma once told me I have been cursed with evil muthi so people don't want to have anything to do with me," she said.

"And I once found a dead bird in my bedroom. What does it mean?"

Dorah said the trouble started about 10 years ago, at about the same time that a tenant left her yard, but she has no proof that the tenant did anything to her.

Sangoma Dumezweni Mahabuke from kwaThema, Ekurhuleni told Daily Sun: "My bones tell me there was a person staying in her yard who left with a heavy heart. He planted muthi in her yard and that thing is now revealing itself in the form of a tokoloshe who sleeps with her."

He said she must immediately get an inyanga who will point out where the muthi is planted, otherwise her children will disappear one by one.
