Female residents at Bethanie in Namibia, southern Africa, are living in fear as a Tokoloshe is reported to suck at the breasts of unsuspecting women and is being accused of sexually abusing them. The creature has apparently been causing havoc in the village since early this year. Bethanie is situated 70 kilometres from Khorixas on the way to Twyfelfontein.
"The goblin is sucking my breasts and at times it also sexually abused us Sometimes in the morning I wake up with swollen private parts," the distressed Veterika Gawises (37), mother of six children revealed
Gawises said that she was shocked by the ordeal and is very afraid as this unexplained phenomenon presents a particular kind of hell for women in the village. Another woman who reportedly suffered the torment of the breast-sucking tokoloshe refused to speak out of fear. The husband of Gawises reiterated the claims about the tokoloshe and said: "My wife and some other women complained about the sexually abusive breast-sucking goblin at Bethanie."
The residents are now hoping to bring in prophets to pray for them as the matter has gotten out of hand, but the fees charged to exorcise the town are exorbitant and beyond the means of the poverty-stricken rural community.
"We plan to bring prophets, one of whom has asked for N$10,000 (almost US$1,300), while another asked for N$2,800 (almost US$340) to pray for us," Gawises said.
An elderly married man at the town is suspected of being behind the sexually abusive tokoloshe. According to Gawises the man asked them for forgiveness and has said that "the thing is not meant to harm you, but was sent to someone else." The existence of this mythical creature can not be verified and to date no proof exists to verify the veracity of the reports from the village of Bethanie.
