ZITF bans sale of goods

BULAWAYO - Zimbabwes annual trade exhibition has banned the selling of goods by exhibitors during this years event to prevent the showcase from being turned into a flea market and bring back its former glory.

During the countrys economic decline, the ZITF had been turned into nothing more than a flea market, with local small to medium enterprises (SMES) selling their wares in the absence of international exhibitors who continued to snub the annual

exhibition.

The ZITF is a place where manufactures and providers of services come to present their goods to interested buyers, hoping to receive orders and establishing a partnership that will last for years.

ZITF 2011 runs from 3 to 7 May with the first two days set aside for businessmen only. The event will spotlight agriculture, tourism, mining and manufacturing the sectors driving the countrys economic revival.
