Maison Sere, a 42-year-old unemployed man with several teeth missing, was crowned Zimbabwe's ugliest man at a public pageant in Harare. Dressed in torn overalls, Mr Sere beat off five other contestants for the $500 Mr. Ugly prize — a large sum in a country facing massive unemployment.
Very happy with himself, Mr Sere told journalists:
"I want to thank God for winning this title, last time I came fourth. I just want to thank
the judges for recognising me as the winner."
The contest however, turned ugly when the runner-up accused judges of bias. William Masvinu, a three-time Mr Ugly winner who walked off with a $100 second prize this year, cried foul.
"The judges were not fair, the organisers must look for new judges to start the contest afresh. I did not lose today," Mr Masvinu said.
