The first-of-its-kind in South Africa, The Mr Ugly competition held in Mtubatuba, KwaZulu-Natal, at the Bit by Bit dance club, in South Africa.
Nine contestants went after a grand prize of R1 000, while the runner-up left with R500. The opposition was won by Simon Mpuyazi after a long night.
David Ntshangase chose to hold the show for the individuals who feel that they are ugly, to leave the contest feeling that they too are deserving of festivity and acknowledgment.
'Ugly and fat people are among the most discriminated against people. You always get beautiful people competing and no one gives ugly people a chance to showcase themselves. Every human was crafted with the same hand of creation', said Ntshangase, who claims that he's not handsome himself and can relate to the entrants.
