Photos: ‘Ugliest man’ in Zimbabwe Contest to Hold in November

Despite difficulties in securing funds to sustain the pageant, organizers of Mr Ugly Zimbabwe have insisted that it will be held on November 25.

They say this year is exceptional because a lot of sponsors have come on board and preliminary contests are ongoing in other regions before the main event.

“Mr Ugly pageant is on. The sponsors are there. We have active sponsors, who have come on board … Harare is big and has a lot of people, hence we are having contests in a number of suburbs,” the founder of the pageant, David Machowa told local newspaper News Day.
