[Fwd: 'Tokoloshe stole court dockets']

A public petition handed to the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate's Court on
Monday alleges that tokoloshes (evil spirits) are being used to steal
court dockets.

The petition alleged that murder accused Mduduzi Manqele, a wealthy
traditional healer, was "well-known for keeping evil creatures which
collect dockets from court".

"We fear, once released, his evil creatures will tamper with the
investigations," the petition continued.

A crowd of of people, who had travelled about 45km to the court,
protested loudly outside.

Manqele, 48, and co-accused Roger Thusi, 30, face charges of murdering
Loyisa Jokweni, 18, whose head was found in a freezer in the home of
Thusi's girlfriend in Pietermaritzburg.

A source in the community said Thusi led the police to Manqele after
allegedly being told by him to behead Jokweni and put the head in a
freezer "to get rich".

After the discovery of the head in the freezer, angry people from the
area where Manqele practised set fire to his house and tuckshop. They
also burned the house where Thusi allegedly kept the head, with a frozen
snake coiled around it.

...and there goes the evidence a first- or third-world police could've
used for the case.
