A Harare man has spent close to $80 000 transforming himself into a woman - including sex change.
Tatelicious, born Tatenda Zenzo Karigambe was born in Budiriro.
According to Sunday Mail, Karigambe has completed formalities with the Registrar-General's Office and is now legally a woman .
"I was confirmed a boy at birth, but I just had a male body with a female mind," said Karigambe
"I usually don't want to reveal my age - I'm a lady. As ladies we don't reveal our age. I'm in my late 20s."
The process of becoming a woman has involved doctors and lawyers.
"I chose to liberate myself from the confines of society. I have spent more than US$80 000 on breast augmentation and vaginoplasty (male to female sex reassignment surgery). I invested in businesses and saved money - family, friends and other silent partners chipped in,".
"I did not do this for money. Growing up, my mother (availed) everything for us; we went to trips as far as the UK, Italy and the US. I'm a chemical engineer, I do consultancy and I run my own organisation, Tatenda NGO, and my husband is rich. He is a neurosurgeon, he is Scottish.
Karigambe said he/she is a twin in a family of four.
