Tokoloshi torments, accuse woman of abortion

The unseen creatures called Tokoloshies are reported to have tormented a Tshwane woman for five years accusing her of aborting her babies.

Mother of two, Rethabile Ralebea (40) said the tokoloshe accuses her of aborting her babies and burying them in shallow graves.

Daily Sun reported that the desperate woman, from Klipgat in Tshwane, said she can't take it any more and she needs a strong inyanga to chase the evil creature away.

"It's scary. I don't sleep at night. It tells me it will never give me peace until I confess," she said. "I have two children. I don't know why the tokoloshe accuses me of something I didn't do."

Rethabile said she had consulted sangomas, but with no luck.

"At night I see coffins and shallow graves. I wake up and scream for help."

Rethabile said that the tokoloshe often speaks to her in public places.

"The tokoloshe talks in my ears - sometimes it's so intense that my ears itch. I shout: 'Leave me alone!' People think I'm mad, but that's not true. The thing drives me crazy. It swears at me. This is serious defamation of character. But who will believe my story?" she said.

Rethabile said she even thinks of taking her life just to get peace.
