Daily Sun (July 17 2014) - TEN people in the same family have already died in mysterious ways.

And the other family members lie awake at night, waiting for death.

THEY LIVE IN FEAR OF THE SERIAL KILLER TOKOLOSHE.

The Baloyi family in Winterveld, near Mabopane, Tshwane are calling on strong inyangas and churches to pray for them and end the reign of terror of the evil tokoloshe.

The latest victim is Lawrence Baloyi, who died on Friday last week.

Julia Tshwene (64), Lawrence's sister, said her brother was healthy when he went to bed on Thursday night.

"During the night I thought I heard choking sounds coming from his room while he was sleeping and when I tried to wake him on Friday, he was no longer breathing."

Julia said there was white foam coming from his mouth.

"We called the ambulance but paramedics certified him dead."

According to the family, Lawrence is the 10th person to have been claimed by this tokoloshe.

Julia said her 25-year-old son was the first one to die in 2002. She said she also heard him choking in his sleep and when she went to check, she found him dead.

Julia has also lost her husband.

Another relative, Eva Baloyi (66), said all those who had died showed the same symptoms.

"They didn't show any sign of being sick and they all died in their sleep," said Eva.

"We consulted inyangas but none of them seem to help. We are tired and in a very bad way emotionally. We want this thing to stop. Only six of us are left," she said.

Eva appealed to churches to come and pray for them.

Another relative, Constance Baloyi said they are worried because a sangoma told them four women members will follow soon, one by one.

"We don't know which one of us will be next."  She said the post mortems all claim the deaths are natural.

Family members who have died are:

) Tryphina Baloyi (26) in 2004

) Lawrence Baloyi (70), on Friday

) Agnes (39) in 2002

) Dickson Baloyi (41)

) Mpho Tshwene (25)

) Tomson Baloyi (46)

) Alinah Baloyi (80)

) Million Baloyi (82)

) Samuel Tshwene (58)

) Mandla Baloyi (30)
