Blame the Tokoloshe! South Africa’s Most Notorious Goblin
Season 1 Episode 17 | 6m 25s
| Video has closed captioning.
Connected to witchcraft, sexual predation, and mischief, the tokoloshe is a dominant myth in South Africa. There are different kinds of tokoloshe/tikoloshe, but one thing remains the same in all versions of the monster: they cause havoc in the lives of all those unfortunate enough to encounter them. They’re blamed from everything from murder and possession to divorce and debt.
