Desperate to reunite with her younger sister, who is being cared for by their grandmother in a rural village, Busi is forced to endure the manager's advances and humiliations to keep her job.
One night, while cleaning a deserted ward, Busi discovers an abandoned young girl named Gracie, who is convinced she is being haunted by a creature known as the tokoloshe, a malevolent spirit in South African folklore. At first, Busi dismisses the girl's fears as the product of an overactive imagination. However, when Gracie starts exhibiting strange and terrifying behavior, Busi begins to suspect that the tokoloshe might be real.
Busi seeks the help of a sangoma, a traditional healer, who confirms her suspicions and warns her of the dangers of the tokoloshe. As the creature's attacks become more frequent and violent, Busi realizes that she must confront her own demons and face the traumatic events of her past if she is to save Gracie from the malevolent force that relentlessly pursues them both.
The Tokoloshe is a disturbing and atmospheric horror film that skillfully blends supernatural elements with social commentary. The movie addresses issues such as poverty, corruption, and violence against women, while also providing an engaging and terrifying supernatural storyline.
