Aunt Tiwo Now a Woman After A successful Surgery

Mr Tiwonge Chimbalanga AKA Aunt Tiwo who got arrested by the Malawi government under Bingu administration after getting engaged with a fellow man named Steven Muonjeza on 26th December 2008, has now successfully been transformed into a full woman by changing his genitals through a surgery in South Africa.

Aunt Tiwo said his family gave him full support during the trial in 2008 because they knew what he was and had already accepted him as he is and they never condemned him for masquerading as a woman.

Chimbalanga said; “I relocated to South Africa in order to seek asylum from the persecution that I was facing in Malawi for my sexual orientation”.

He further said, “It all started while he was still young. I used to associate with women better and never had feelings for men ever since my childhood days. I would undress in the presence of my mother and sister who could undress as well without having the feeling that I was a boy.”

When asked about his relationship with God, he said that whether what he has been doing is sinful or not, should be left in the hands of God who has the power to judge. Chimbalanga said that he is an Anglican faithful and goes to church even in South Africa just like anyone else. However, Aunt Tiwo registered his concerns that a lot of people especially fellow Malawians living in South Africa and on social media scorn him, calling him all sorts of names for being a homosexual with some quoting the Bible from the Book of Romans chapter 1 verses 24 to 27.

The bible says, 1:24 [NET2.1 Free]) Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. (Rom 1:25 [NET2.1 Free]) They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. (Rom 1:26 [NET2.1 Free]) For this reason, God gave them over to dishonorable passions.

For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones, (Rom 1:27 [NET2.1 Free]) and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Miss Chimbalanga said “she” does not want to be married again because a good number of men just use and dump her after promising to marry her especially in South Africa. However, she is in sexual relationships with various men just for pleasure.

At the time of the interview, Khulubvi Reporter wanted to know whether he has male or female genitals and whether he must be addressed as a female. In his response Chimbalanga said, “I successfully got a surgery to change my sexual organs from male to female because I had male ones at birth but now I am a fully flagged woman and plans to give birth to a baby if it is possible.” Chimbalanga never revealed when and where her genitals were altered.

Chimbalanga confined to our reporter that his marriage with Steven Monjeza, which was publicly officiated but ended when both got arrested. “My husband Steve Monjeza broke the promise when he offered an interview to journalists soon after his release from prison.

The deal to never speak to the media was reached upon when the United Nations Secretary General, Bank Moon flew into Malawi after the arrest of love birds to discuss the immediate release of Aunt Tiwo and his partner Steven Monjeza citing the need for the Malawi government to respect people’s rights to exercise their freedom based on their sexual orientations.

He said they were put in separate prisons where her husband was pressurized by his family members as well as government authorities to denounce the marriage which took place before their arrest in Chileka, Township in Blantyre.

Aunt Tiwo who was born male on 9th January 1986 in Traditional Authority Chimbalanga in Bvumbwe, Thyolo district but used to behave as a female since her birth does not know her father. The only information he has is that the father hailed from one of the Northern Region districts. He does not even know her siblings who were born from a different mother.

He did his primary education at CI Primary School in Blantyre and his secondary education at Soche Hill Secondary School in Blantyre and proceeded to do his college education at Skyway College in the same district.

Chimbalanga who now stays and works in Cape Town in South Africa after leaving Malawi a decade ago continues to act and dresses as a woman and prefers to be identified as such. Chimbalanga said, “ At least I am a bit comfortable here in South Africa because there are laws that protect LGBT and I don’t intend to go back to Malawi, not so soon. Chimbalanga was all smiles throughout the interview and considers this, his right to express herself. This is still a sticky issue in Malawi.
