The Zimbabwean Ugliest Man Pageant Is Just Around The Corner – For Real

Not a conventional pageant to say the least. But interesting and entertaining regardless. August will see the fourth Mr Ugly competition in Zimbabwe and will be hosted by Aerowise Entertainment, a Zimbabwean based company.

August will see the fourth Mr Ugly competition in Zimbabwe. It will be hosted by Aerowise Entertainment, a Zimbabwean based company. Some 30 ‘ugly men’ are set to compete for the title parading in four categories – smart, smart casual, safari and sports. And who better to judge the contestants than a panel of females. This year’s judging panel has yet to be decided.

Austin Mbewe took the title in 2011. Mbewe had to fight out eight others at the top in order to be crowned Mr Ugly. Not a contest for everybody perhaps as some of the contestants got cold feet and decided not participate in the 2011 competition.

Ausitn Mbewe – 2011 winner

Mbewe beat out Chitova Chezhira from Masvingo who came second and Kudakwashe Chiramba who took third position  The contest in 2011 saw for the first time two Mr Ugly Personalities, Thomas Magwegwe and Touchmore Denyathi.
