ZITF opens with South African pledge

The 53rd edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) opened yesterday in Bulawayo with South African Deputy Trade and Industry minister Elizabeth Thabethe officially launching her country’s pavilion.

The ceremony was the major highlight of the day as a number of exhibitors, including the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, were still putting finishing touches to their stands.

Thabethe, who is making her second visit in less than a month, said Zimbabwe presented a lot of opportunities for South African businesses.
