Toilet chamber goes missing :::: Submitted by Thandolwenkosi Nkomo, Zimbabwe
The things that happen in Africa, mystify the scientist, and leave the professors dump founded. Some people attribute the events to what the world has come to know as "black magic". 

Zimbabwe is no different from the rest of Africa, the so called black spirits and powers, lurk about and are always at work. Wether its lightning that bolts out of a clear blue sky and is directed at a foe or mysterious globins ( a.k.a "tikolotshi", "bechulude", "ndofa") roaming the night doing the masters business. The dark side of Zimbabwe and Africa can not be ignored. 

One of the latest occurrences is described as follows, "In a bizarre incident, a school pupil at a Bulawayo primary school said he was shocked to find that there was no chamber in the toilet when he went to relieve himself. 

The chamber had disappeared not just the toilet seat, which might be understandable with a little stretch of the imagination, but the toilet chamber had gone.

This followed strange happenings at the school following the death of one of the teachers at the school.

A few days before some female students said they were scared to death when they saw an active bodiless hand in the toilet.

This has led to chaos, as now pupils in the lower grades were afraid of going to the toilet. Some did not even want to come to school.

However authorities at the school naturally and diplomatically dismissed the occurrences as rumors spread by mischievous individuals. But only a true Nyanga "witch doctor", might be able to divine the truth.
