ZIMBABWE: Mr. Ugly Contest '17

OK, this one got me laughing out loud, though with loads of fun.
There is this just concluded pageant, or should I call it contest in Zimbabwe. It's titled MR. UGLY CONTEST.

Mr. Ugly Contest 

The winner of this contest was William Masvinu, a 43-year-old unemployed who just bagged his fourth title for being the ugliest man in Zimbabwe.

Masvinu, who is from Epworth, had missed out on last year's title. He earned a total of 98 points to reclaim the title on Sunday, last weekend in Harare, beating Fanuel Musekiwa, 61, into second place.

Mison Sere was the previous winner of this contest, but this year, he only found himself in third place after making 91 points.

The latest Mr. Ugly, walked away with $500 plus a cow for winning the title. Fanuel Musekiwa, the first runner-up pocketed $200 while Mison Sere got $100 for being the second runner-up.

In Masvinu’s words, "No one can dispute that I am the ugliest person in Zimbabwe,' he said after winning the title.

'It was a tight competition since all the contestants were potential winners. 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’, adding that, I am proud of my ugliness as I was born ugly.’

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,"
Musekiwa who came second promised to work hard next year to win the crown from Masvinu.
