Zimbabwes ugliest man was crowned on Saturday night at Pagomo Heights Leisure Centre in a fun-filled occasion attended by hundreds of people. Harare-based dance group Girls La Musica added colour to the event, as Bulawayo-based Austin Mbewe (30) was crowned this years winner of the contest after beating eight other hopefuls for the tightly contested Mr Ugly.
Initially, a total of 15 ugly men were expected to outclass each other on the ramp but six developed cold feet at the eleventh hour.
The show was held for the third time running after the previous two shows were successful in drawing an average of 30 men who volunteered to outclass each other to be crowned Zimbabwes ugliest man.
All the judges were women. Beitbridge-based Kudakwashe Chiramba (45) was crowned first runner-up while Chitova Chezhira (39) of Masvingo was the second runner-up.
Mbewe won a blanket and R1 200 cash, the first and second runners-up received R600 and R500 along with a blanket apiece.
