Protests and cheating claims at Mr Ugly contest

"I am naturally ugly. He is not. He is ugly only when he opens his mouth," claimed William Masvinu after  pageant judges crowned Zimbabwe's current Mister Ugly, 42-year-old Mison Sere winner.  Masvinu had held the title since 2012. 

Judges were particularly revolted by Mr Sere's numerous missing front teeth and wide range of grotesque facial expressions. But Masvinu and his supporters mobbed the judges after hearing their decision, claiming that Sere was too handsome to win and his ugliness wasn't natural since it was based on missing teeth.
