		However, the Tokoloshe is stated to be "a cross between a zombie, poltergeist, and a gremlin" that "lives in South Africa." It goes on to say Tokoloshes are "created from dead bodies by shamans...if the shaman has been offending by someone." According to the book, the creatures are "only the size of small children...

		The fact that Simphiwe happened to be sitting outside a bar on the main street in Hankey when he saw the tikoloshe was strictly coincidence.
		A tikoloshe is a mischievous creature with magical powers, about half the size of a man, naked, ugly, extremely hairy and, perhaps just as well, generally invisible.

		Sipho believes that he killed a tikoloshe, an evil spirit that takes over the bodies of people.
		Sean argues that since Sipho believes that a tikoloshe is a real evil spirit that must be killed, then he was, from his perspective, acting in a reasonable manner.
		South African law does not recognize that such action was reasonable because the law defining manslaughter was written by people who didn’t believe in the tikoloshe.

		ABSTRACT: This article describes the cases of 6 Zulu children into whom sewing needles were inserted, allegedly by the tikoloshe, an elf-like nocturnal creature that causes mischief through an ill-defined relationship with the witch doctor.
		In addition, the pattern of the abuse with the tikoloshe substituting for an unknown abuser is discussed, and the need for a full investigation in such cases is stressed.
		It is suggested that blaming these events on the tikoloshe may allow mothers to accept the events without alienating the children's caregivers, who are usually grandmothers or neighbors.
