Former Mr Ugly champion dies after struggling with drug and alcohol abuse

Mison Sere, the winner of the Mr Ugly pageant in 2015, has died at the age of 51. The unfortunate incident occurred at his family pad in Mabvuku, where he collapsed while answering nature’s call in the toilet.

His untimely demise was confirmed by family spokesperson Danny Sere in a brief chat with H-Metro. He said they believe his death was probably caused by the illicit drugs and alcohol the former Mr Ugly was in the habit of consuming.

Danny said Mison Sere would show signs of mental illness because of the drugs and illicit alcohol he was abusing.

“Mison has been abusing drugs and drinking illicit alcohol for some time. At one time, he would show signs of mental disturbances due to drugs,” Danny said.

Taking a stroll down memory lane, Danny revealed how Mison Sere became a funeral hopper, sniffing out homes in mourning for the sole purpose of quenching his thirst.

“He would move around looking for houses where people are gathered for funerals. There was no funeral gathering around Mabvuku, which he didn’t attend, just for beer only. He would spend more than three days camped at a funeral. Chainyanyorwadza ndechekuti ainwa tudoro utwu asinakudya,” said Danny.

Mison Sere gained attention by winning the “ugliest person” title in 2015, triumphing over the three-time winner, William Masvinu. Some people contested his win, thinking he wasn’t ‘ugly’ enough to compete, pointing out his missing teeth as his only standout feature. Despite controversy over his win, Sere went on to win the title three more times.

In a show of community spirit, aspiring Mabvuku legislator, Scott Sakupwanya pitched in with a generous donation of mealie-meal, meat, tomatoes, and vegetables for the funeral proceedings..
