Two-time champion of Zimbabwe\u2019s Mr Ugly 2017 William Masvinu was again crowned the winner of the title for the third time in the event that attracted scores of people.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr Ugly is an annual contest that seeks to celebrate beauty in ugliness, according to organisers.<\/p>\n Masvinu edged off competition from four other contestants including close rivals Fanuel Musekiwa and Maison Sere at the braai fest held at Mutangaz Hideout in Goromonzi on Sunday night.<\/p>\n He walked away with $500 and a cow while Musekiwa earning $200 and Sere $100 for second and third position respectively.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one can dispute that I am the ugliest person in Zimbabwe. I now want to take my ugliness outside the country. If there is Mr Ugly World, I am confident I will bring the crown to Zimbabwe,\u201d Masvinu said.<\/p>\n Masvinu lost the title to Sere in 2015 amid complaints that Sere\u2019s ugliness was only based on his missing teeth<\/p>\n \u201cLast time, complacency cost me a lot but this time I came well prepared for the contest and I am happy I have reclaimed my trophy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His win has however not gone down well with many as they say it is a monopoly. According to News Day, besides suggesting a protest over Masvinu\u2019s monopoly of the title, the crowd also suggested that Masvinu should not be a contestant in the forthcoming pageants so that other contestants get a chance to win.<\/p>\n The event\u2019s founder David Machowa has described the 2017 event as successful.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year\u2019s event was bigger and better. It coincided with the braai festival where 14 000kg of meat were eaten,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr Ugly World will be held in South Africa in 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/opacity.png\")
