Zimbabwe Mr Ugly pageant final competitions has been postponed to October after being initially scheduled to take place sometime around next year, according to the pageant director David “Apama” Machowa.
Newsday newspaper reported yesterday that Machowa attributed the delay to “the current political situation” in the country.
He said the preliminary competitions were still underway, adding they would come up with the date for the national finals after completion of the preliminary rounds.
“The pageant is on. Next month, Bulawayo will host its provincial competitions before moving to Mashonaland East and other provinces. The funds are there. Remember, we clinched a sponsorship deal sometime this year,” he said.
“We were also affected by the current unrest in the country. We were billed to host some competitions in Mbare and other areas in Harare, but we could not.”
