Zimbabwe has had its first transgender wedding after a woman, who was born male, got married recently.

Briefly.co.za has established that Tatenda Zenzo Karigambe spent over $80,000 on gender reassignment surgery to become a woman.

According to myzimbabwe.co the surgery transformed Tatenda's reproductive organs from male to female.

She is now living as a "complete" woman and is legally registered as a female at Zimbabwe's Registrar-General's office.

Pictures shared online showed a proud Tatenda, also known by her nickname Tatelicious, dressed in a wedding gown alongside her husband, named only as Richard.

The wedding has caused a stir among Zimbabweans on social media. Many congratulated her on her big day and wished her all the best.

However, some slammed her for doing something they considered a "taboo" in their local culture.

Tatenda remained unfazed, however. In a video posted online, she thanked everyone for sending congratulatory messages and urged people to be true to themselves.
