Western Cape
The Western Cape is one of 9 South African provinces, with coasts bordering the Indian and Atlantic oceans. It's known for the port city of Cape Town, set beneath Table Mountain, part of a national park of the same name.
I can't wait for the day I have enough money to visit Cape Town, in the Western Cape.
Tikoloshe
In Zulu/Xhosa mythology, Tikoloshe, Tokoloshe, Tokolotshe, De'Avion or Hili is a dwarf-like water sprite. It is considered a mischievous and evil spirit that can become invisible by drinking water or swallowing a stone. Tokoloshes are called upon by malevolent people to cause trouble for others.
*My child misbehaves*
Me: If you don't behave, I will call the tikoloshe to beat you.
