The daughter, one of eight children, pranked Gayton by telling him via voice notes that their neighbours were going on holiday to Gqeberha and asked her to take care of their dog while they were away.

Kenya, who also said she would receive R200 every day they're gone, then showed her father a picture of the animal, which some may not necessarily describe as cute.

Gayton replied in a voice note:

"Kenya, is that a dog or a tokoloshe? It looks like a grandfather tokoloshe. Are you sure you want to look after that tokoloshe?"
