This Pap Tokoloshe Sells Like Hot Cakes… for R15 000 to R25 000, South Africa’s Daily Sun. For the uninitiated, a tokoloshe (as cited by Die Antwoord, cleaning up lyrics for Letterman) is a hairy little mischief-making goblin. They’re often very hungry. And pap is corn mush, like polenta, but firm enough that you can sculpt it with a spoon. Or your hands. (Geek note: Pap is also called putu, which is what, if you listen closely, Jabba the Hutt threatens to mash Luke into when he comes to rescue Han’s frozen body. Because Jabba was speaking a Bantu language.) Muthi means “medicine” - but can be used to mean “magic.” And R15 000 is about $1,973 today.
