Incidents of Tokoloshe rape are on the rise:

EASTERN Cape police have appointed three detectives to specialise in occult-related crime as part of a national drive by the SAPS to crack down on muti murders and other crimes that may occur during the practising of satanism, witchcraft and even vampirism.

This has been confirmed by Eastern Cape police after an internal police memo, entitled: "Investigation of Harmful Occult-Related Crimes: Investigation Support Capacity” was leaked on the internet and to the media. According to provincial police spokesman Lt Colonel Sibongile Soci the three officers have been trained to investigate:

* Witchcraft-related offences, including black magic, witch-finding and witch-purging;

* The practice of voodoo intended to cause harm;

* Vampirism and joint infringement of the Human Tissue Act;

* Murder or human sacrifice leaving evidence of occult involvement; and

* Allegations of rape by a tokoloshe spirit.

Religious leaders and academics in the province have welcomed the move as being "long overdue”, claiming occult-related crimes like muti killings, human sacrifice and initiation rituals involving rape are reaching critical levels.

The establishment of these teams in each of the nine provinces comes 15 years after police disbanded its Occult-Related Crime Unit, following complaints by human rights groups who argued that the Constitution guaranteed religious freedom, a definition broad enough to include satanists.

"SAPS Eastern Cape has trained three detectives at warrant officer rank, who will be centralised, but each dealing with a specific part of the province [which is still to be specified]” Soci said.

Pastors James Lottering, of Word of Faith in Port Elizabeth, and Barry Thomas, of the First City Baptist Church in East London, have both reported "intensifying” occult activity in the past three years.

"In the early 1990s East London was known as the satanism capital of South Africa. That died off but now it appears to be back. What is most disturbing is that it is taking the form of vampirism,” Thomas said.

"About two years ago I became aware of a coven of about 50 people practising vampirism in Gonubie, where human and animal blood was being drunk.”

Lottering said it was imperative that the new unit initially focused on the former Ciskei and Transkei areas of the Eastern Cape to combat muti murders. "I counsel many people every day and what is apparent is that witchcraft in the rural areas is filtering into the cities. There are of course cultural factors to consider but if you are killing humans for body parts to put spells on people that is demonic, both spiritually and physically,” he said.

The new occult-unit officers have undergone months of training under the tutelage of Dr Kobus "Donker” Jonker, former head of the Occult-Related Crimes Unit.

He said there were more of these cults cropping up every day.

However for members of the SA Pagan Rights Alliance, like Port Elizabeth’s Christina Engler, the new units represent "a big backward step”.

"The units will be influenced by Christian doctrine, which will lump pagans like me into the same group as satanists and anybody they think will commit a crime. This will reinforce stereotypes and make people doubt themselves all over again,” Engler said.

So does this mean that the satanists have move back into Southernwood?

There was an Occult-Related Crime Unit? I cannot believe this, find the fact that cults are going strong fascinating. The whole cult thing fascinates me actually - too much CI.

The Satanism hysteria was quite big in the 80's. Especially in East London.

Funnily enough I was good friends with the leader of a coven (he was from Gonubie) in East London, when I got out the army in 1990. They didn't bother me, I didn't bother them - each to his own.

I moved out of the house I shared when cops rocked up with shotguns and uzi's because they decided to have a band practice on Sunday, WHILE everyone was at church (next door to us). Everyone got taken away except me - I guess the blue-patterned duvet, bright curtains, and pictures of hot chicks on the wall must have given it away? :p They all had dark, scarey rooms.

One of their friends, who worked for my father at the time, chopped some homeless guy's head off in the graveyard - he got caught.

Stay away, stay away...
 
Nothing surprises me anymore, people do effed up things.

This sounds like a step in the right direction especially to focus on Muti killings and this witchcraft bull.
 
No doubt that fskcing moron Kobus Jonker is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. He'll do anything to make himself relevant...
 
no doubt there are crimes that are committed under the guise of "supernatural forces"

The fact that the "supernatural forces" are never to be found does not diminish the severity of the crimes.

We live in a VERY superstitious culture.

I would agree, if it was something more realistic and sane than the "occult-related crime unit." Instead, it's something that perpetuates and raises belief in this nonsense.

It's just as guilty of furthering superstition as the superstitious nutjobs themselves.

Not sure if its the same incident. There were those three in East London who chopped off that homeless guys head in the brush around Cambridge/Chiselhurst. This wasn't at a graveyard. Only the one dude was prosecuted because of his age, the other two (his followers) were let off. I went to school with one of the guys let off. I often see him around town (now he is a lawyer apparently), or on the telly. He has such a distinct voice so even when they black out his face and warp his voice. I know who he is.

Close to, or in the cemetery. I don't know, the story I heard was always the cemetery. Yes, the same story.

It's actually quite sad because he was an extremely intelligent, good looking person, even if a LOT disturbed. They arrested him at work, as far as I can remember the story.

If I think of it now, some pretty whacked things have happened in East London, like the idiot that cut a girl's tendons in her inner-thighs so she couldn't close her legs. Yes, seriously whacked! I actually saw her that night - nice girl, too impressionable.

I joke about the Tokoloshe rape, but I know of a few things the police have never solved in East London. You don't mess with those people, because they find ways to get at you - I'd rather just carry on with my life!
 
People, most of you miss the point of what this unit will investigate 99% of the time. You only see that one percent WTF Interestingly enough the police had such a unit but has been disbande because of the indigenous law been accepted more within the South African law. The actions of this special unit could have been interpreted as racist. Is funny to see how the new South Africa turns more and more into the old. The police have already gone back to the old ranking system. Furthermore, apparently there are now too many provinces in SA :D
 
Seems like a unit aimed at combating these muti murders is a good thing.

Investigating rape by the Tokoloshe is totally whackadoo though. :wtf:
