Zimbabwe Trans Blogger Tatelicious Arrested
They identify as 'she' but travel documents say they are a 'he'
Zimbabwe Trans Blogger Tatelicious has been arrested in South Africa.
Born a male in Harare's Budiriro suburb, Tatenda Zenzo Karigambe left Zimbabwe for Sweden where they later had a sex change before they had a brief marriage with one Richard Sandberg.
In March 2022, they was evicted from a mansion in Saltvik which they lost in legal proceedings. Tatelicious' husband Richard Sandberg had given them the mansion but had stopped paying the mortgage to the bank because the two were no longer together.
Tatelicious had repeatedly asked Richard, to let them take over the loan so they could pay it off themself and continue to live in the house, but he had refused, simply because he wanted to see them suffer. Tatelicious' claims that their former husband wanted to see them suffer contradicted earlier claims that their split was amicable and that the two were still best friends.

Saymore a top fan defending her gender preferences.
Tatelicious is a she. Transgender woman. It’s called transphobia when you intentionally use the improper pronoun. Saying he will not change her gender. Gender isn’t biological, it’s a social construct. Wake up to the reality and stop being petty. He my foot.
