Zimbabwe’s “Mr. Ugly”, William Masvinu has filed a report after he was denied his prize after bagging the Mr. Ugly title in last year’s competition.

Speaking to a local newspaper, New Zimbabe, Masvinu said that he has opened a case against the organiser of the competition David Machowa who is known as Apama in the entertainment circles.

“I reclaimed the award last year after I lost to Maison Sere in 2016. I walked away with a cow and $500 but I was only given $100 long after I scooped the award. Apama claims that I assaulted him as such I will not get the balance so I will let the police handle it,” he said.

After winning the title in 2016, Masvinu said that he was ready to take the title worldwide.

“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,” he said.
