It is now unfolding that Abdalla Aluu, popularly known as aunt Victoria of Mbezi Beach, who on Sunday was rushed to Mwananyamala hospital on claims that he changed his male organs to female, is actually the father of two children who are now in abroad. It has also been revealed that Aunt Victoria changed the organs through surgery done in China almost ten years ago.
The 'Daily News' established yesterday that Aunt Victoria poisoned herself last Sunday, in an attempt to commit suicide on grounds of being overburdened with love affairs. Eyewitnesses narrated at Kipongoso Mbezi beach where Aunt Victoria lives, found that on Sunday night, she was found outside her house by her landlords wife, Mrs Urombo, vomiting and complaining of severe pains. Sensing an emergency, Mrs Urombo phoned to seek police assistance. Police from Kawe came with two Land Rovers and picked her, the eyewitness said.
She said before she was picked and rushed to Mwananyamala hospital, curious eavesdroppers claim to have already assessed her anatomy because they were allegedly able to see her breasts, since she was scantly covered with a single piece of khanga. Grapevine accounts also suggested they had read a suicide note in which the woman said, I have decided to kill myself because of being overburdened with love affairs, The eye witness went on saying that the letter had also the names of people whom she owes money and her debtors.
He said he managed to see even some of the debts of 25,000/- and 5,000/- indicating she had taken household items from unidentified shops on loan. Later, the narrator took this reporter to a place where Aunt Victoria was constructing a casino at Banda Beach Club area that she intended to launch it at the end of this month a big social hall and one reception, with all its tinted-glass doors.
It was all quiet at the residence of Aunt Victoria, because she lived alone and had no relatives in the area. She lives in a two-roomed fenced house, surrounded by towering cellular phone pylons, all of which serve to mask her entrance gate. Before changing her sex about ten years ago, Aunt Victoria had married a European woman with whom they had two children, born at a time when the couple lived at Mbezi beach Mitimirefu, where the family had built a house.
Emmanuel Petro, a neighbour of Mr Aluu at Mitimirefu during those days, said he was a father of the family that was much respected. He said he had kept cows where he employed youths. He said, Mr Aluu separated with his wife after his sex-change surgery in China and he had sold his house just before the operation, as his wife and the two children went to Europe. This house he sold is quite palatial in Tanzanian terms fenced all around. At the Muhimbili National Hospital-Mwaisela (female ward), our team found Aunt Victoria asleep with tubes in her noses breathing with difficulty, but with her beautiful earrings on.
The ward attendants routinely barred visitors from seeing her, on grounds that she had told them that she had neither friends nor relatives. They also declined comment regarding anything on her status. However, the hospital Public Relations Officer, Jeza Waziri, said that on examination, Aunt Victoria was found to have suffered from meningitis and had some toxins in her body. He added that Aunt Victoria had started talking, albeit slowly and with difficulty and that she was due for further medical examinations.
