Tales and Legends (2)

This is the South African - urban - legend of 'Pinky-Pinky', an evil spirit or 'tokoloshe' believed to lurk in public bathrooms in order to accost and molest young girls. If you're wearing pink underwear you are in particular danger... apparently this entity causes real consternation and hysteria in school restrooms across the country, and is even more of a good reason for girls to go to the loo in pairs...

Back to Bulawayo days - I think I was scared of Pinky-Pinky even before I KNEW there was such a thing! (Flushing was sheer terror...) I think going to the loo in twos is a good idea...
