Uganda's Ugliest man Welcomes his eight child

A former cobbler who has been dubbed
‘Uganda’s Ugliest Man’ has become a father for
the eighth time.
Godfrey Baguma, 47, who is believed to suffer
from a rare, unknown medical condition, and his
wife Kate Namanda, 30, welcomed a baby girl.
Baguma won the less-than-favourable title in
2002, after he entered the competition to make
money for his cash-strapped family.
Before his marriage to Kate, Godfrey
had two children with his first wife – but their
marriage came to an end when he caught her
cheating with another man.
Describing how he wooed Kate initially, Godfrey
told KFM : ‘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 leave me’.
The couple got married in 2013, and now have
six children together – after their first child was
born in 2008.
Speaking of their romance, 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.’

makes most of his money appearances ,where he sings and performs stand up comedy
