At night when other people go to sleep, Lesiba Galane (36) says he prepares for a fight with a kickboxing tokoloshe (goblin).
The fierce creature has apparently been jumping into his bed every night for the past 14years, punching, kicking and even trying to strangle him!
Lesiba said the terror started in 1999 while he was in grade 11 in Limpopo.
When he started working in 2001, the torture got worse.
He fled his place in Edenvale, Johannesburg, and moved in with his sister in Ebony Park, thinking the problem would go away,
But instead it got worse.
Lesiba has been to various churches, traditional healers and prophets but nothing has helped.
"Every night, I fight with this thing that I don't see and this has taken a toll on me. Now I fear going to sleep and I wake up in pain every day," Lesiba said.
Some of the traditional healers he visited told him he was bewitched.
"They gave me muthi to drink and bath in but I never felt any better.
"Others said my ancestors want me to become a sangoma.
"I get so many stories that I don't know what to believe anymore.
"So far I have spent more than R30000 seeking help.
"I carry R500 with me every day in case I meet someone who can help me.
"I have just come back from another prophet in Ivory Park to get prayers so that I can sleep.
"He prayed for me and said I will see change in no time but they all say the same thing and nothing happens.
"I need help. I fear this thing will kill me one day," Lesiba said.
