| The look of love: Sebabi and his wife Kate are celebrating the birth of their sixth child |
A man
crowned the ugliest man in Uganda has become a dad for the EIGHTH time.
Godfrey
Baguma, known as Sebabi - which means 'ugliest of them all' - suffers from a
rare medical condition giving him his distinctive looks.
The 47-year-old married his second wife Kate
Namanda, 30, in 2013.
Since then the couple have had six kids - two
of Sebabi's nippers come from his first marriage which broke up some years ago.
Speaking to KFM, he said:
. “I caught her cheating with another man and I
assured her our relationship
was over.
“She
liked me because of my money, but people kept telling her that she could do
better, so she started eloping with another man.”
Sebabi
then met Namanda, who was 18 at the time, through his aunt who played go
between.
He
said: “I stayed with her four years before her people knew where she was. I
didn’t want them to see me until we had a child because they would definitely
advise her to leave me.
“She
left me when she was six months pregnant but I think she later accepted her
fate because she came back two months later.
“I told
her that I didn’t choose to look the way I do and that if she feels I am a
burden, she is free to live me.
But she
chose to stay and in 2013 they held a wedding ceremony that put his hometown
Kyazanga, in the Lwengo District of Uganda, at a standstill.
Guests
at the wedding had to pay 4,000 Ugandan shillings (about 70p) to attend the
reception and see the woman Sebabi married.
Sebabi
is a former cobbler who now uses his unique features to earn a living.
He
appears at events as Uganda’s Ugliest Man just for people to see him, but he
took it a step further by launching a singing career.
He says
he doesn’t want to go on stage for people to just stare at him.
