Sorry that I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but after living in Africa for six years, I do know about the Tokoloshe. A little scary guy that come and gets you in the night. He is why the natives will not sleep on the ground, and put their beds up on bricks. Out of curiosity, I read about it on Wikipedia, but their description hardly resembles what I got from the natives themselves. All of the tribes have this same superstition.
