The year was 2015. Mison Sere had beaten all odds to win Mr. Ugly Zimbabwe.

But the search is on again.
After a year’s break due to lack of sponsorship and funding, the search for Mr. Ugly Zimbabwe is back on.
David Machowa, the organizer told local media the contest will look out for appearance, confidence, zeal and character.
