Zimbabwe's ugliest man was crowned at a pub pageant in Harare last weekend.The 42 year old man beat the rest with his upper teeth lose look. However the contest turned into chaos when the runner-up accused judges of bias.
Maison Sere, who was missing several teeth and dressed in torn overalls attire, beat off five other contestants for the $500 Mr Ugly prize which is a large sum in the country.
"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," Sere told journalists during a night of festivities on Friday attended by 200 revelers.
However, William Masvinu, a three-time Mr Ugly winner who walked off with a $100 second prize this year, cried foul claiming he was denied the winner title out of bias.
"The judges were not fair, the organisers must look for new judges to start the contest afresh. I did not lose today," Masvinu said.
Show organiser David Machowa said he created the pageant in 2012 to celebrate "beauty in ugliness".
"The show last night was very successful, and I still have plans to host Mr Ugly world," he said.
