Zimbabwe's competition for the ugliest man has been plagued by allegations of cheating, after the winner was accused of being too handsome.
Mison Sere, 42, was chosen by judges over 35 other Mister Ugly contestants for his missing front teeth and wide range of revolting facial expressions.
Former champion William Masvinu, a veteran with four previous Mister Ugly titles, cried foul, however, saying that Mr Sere's ugliness should not count because it was not natural.
"Sere made tremendous effort to enhance his ugliness by pulling facial stunts," said judge Abigail Mataranyika, a university student. "Masvinu thought he is so ugly that he didn't need to try hard. That cost him the crown."
