Mr Ugly is an annual contest that seeks to celebrate beauty in ugliness, according to organisers.
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.
He walked away with $500 and a cow while Musekiwa earning $200 and Sere $100 for second and third position respectively.
“No 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,” Masvinu said.
“Last 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,” he added.
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’s 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.
The event’s founder David Machowa has described the 2017 event as successful.
“This year’s event was bigger and better. It coincided with the braai festival where 14 000kg of meat were eaten,” he said.
Mr Ugly World will be held in South Africa in 2018.
