The Tokoloshe is a mythical creature from South African folklore. It is described as a small, mischievous spirit or goblin, who can be both helpful and harmful to humans. The Tokoloshe is believed to be invisible, and can only be seen by medicine men or people with special powers. It is said to have the ability to cause misfortune, such as illness or death, to those it dislikes or wishes to punish. The Tokoloshe is believed to be created by a witch or sorcerer, usually as a way to exact revenge on an enemy. The Tokoloshe is usually sent to cause chaos and destruction or to harass its target. It can also be used as a way to protect a person or place from evil spirits. The Tokoloshe is usually described as a small, hairy creature with a long neck and big eyes. It can take on any shape or size and is said to be able to walk on two feet or four. It is said to be able to make itself invisible or to appear as a large animal such as a goat or cow. The Tokoloshe is said to be warded off by traditional methods such as sprinkling salt around a person's bed or carrying a charm or amulet. It is also believed that if a person can confront the Tokoloshe, they can ask it to leave or demand it to stop its mischievous behavior. In modern culture, Tokoloshe has become popular in South African horror films, television shows, and games. While the creature still plays the role of a menacing force, it has also been used to represent the struggles and fears of everyday South Africans. The Tokoloshe has become a symbol of resilience and courage in the face of adversity.
Taxi Tokoloshe lets you play as the infamous creature himself. Run and jump your way through the busy streets of Jozi. Take down taxis and avoid the (probably very warm since it has been out in the sun for a while) Zamalek. Discover your amazing magical abilities. And enjoy the LEKKER sounds of the city.
This fast-paced game will keep you on your toes, while the music will have you on your feet.
