A 47-year-old father of seven, who has been dubbed
Uganda’s ugliest man, has become a father for the eighth time
in Kyazanga, Lwengo district.

Godfrey Baguma has become a proud father of eight children after his wife Kate Namanda, 30, delivered a healthy baby girl. The couple now have six children together, while two others are kids from Baguma’s first unsuccessful marriage.
The man, who suffers from an extremely rare, unknown disease, won his
title of the ugliest country’s man after he took part in the contest to
make money for his family. “In 2002, I was mending shoes, when some
people approached me and said they had an event at which they wanted me
to be a chief guest.
They took my pictures and a few days later, I saw my picture in the newspapers where I had declared myself the ugliest man alive. I was shocked and angry at the same time because I had not said so. They also told me that as a cobbler, I could not make enough money to sustain my family.
They asked me to participate in a contest, saying I would make more money since I would be a tourist attraction. I agreed, and indeed I won. That
is how I got the nickname, Ssebabi, which means the ugliest of them
all. Today, I feel good, about it because it is an honour.”
Godfrey and Kate live in a small house, bringing up all eight children and trying to make both ends meet, but they did not complain. Kate said: “Once you find a man you think is right for you, do not listen to what other people say. Follow your heart. Money and physical appearance should not be an issue.”
