Mr Ugly,
William
Masvinu
says
women
are
throwing
themselves
at his feet.
But he is not interested. Scooping the Mr Ugly title
twice in a row is undisputable testament
that Harare man, Masvinu, is indeed very ugly and
deserves the accolade. Masvinu who shares his
mobile with his wife Alice Chabhanga who is almost
always by his side, said he does not have time for
‘girls’. “Zvevasikana handina dhiri nazvo, I have my
own girl at home and one needs to be careful these
days because there are diseases,” said
Masvinu. Masvinu is confident of his looks and is
unfazed by people who stare at him in the
streets. “My ugliness comes naturally to me and
although I did a bit to prepare for the show, I let my
looks do the rest. Now I am a celebrity, when
people meet me in the street they shout Mr Ugly
and I wave at them happily,” he said. Masvinu, who
is a part time mechanic, revealed that he has also
ventured into acting and features in a film titled
Fuse Yatsva which has already been produced.
“These days I spend time selling my film on the
streets of Harare and people like it,” he said. Last
year, the 39-year-old was quoted bemoaning the
lack of corporate support for “celebrities” like him.
He said as the reigning Mr Ugly Harare, he should
be in the same league with superstars such as
Oliver Mtukudzi. “Despite my celebrity status, my
life hasn’t changed and I still struggle to make ends
meet,” he said.
“The corporate world should support me as I am a
celebrity just like other musicians and top people,”
he said. But, he added, as a celebrity he now enjoys
numerous free drinks and beer and often gets into
shows without paying as people “respect”
his celebrity status. It is just a matter of time before
Masvinu proves how far he can go as a celebrity or
whether he will make headlines for grabbing other
people’s wives
