By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) has been moved to September.

ZITF was supposed to be held from July 20 to 23.

In a statement addressed to the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Dr Sekai Nzenza the ZITF company has proposed 21-24 September and 28 September- 1 October as the new dates.

ZITF Company board chairman, Mr Busisa Moyo said this will allow exhibitors and potential visitors to reschedule their preparations with ample time and also allow the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic to subside.

“We have been ceased with the matter of adjusting ZITF dates which were originally 20-23 July but now require review of the appropriateness of holding the event on these dates in light of the rise in Covid-19 cases. Our local, as well as foreign exhibitors, are gravely concerned about travelling and exhibiting given the current trajectory of the pandemic in Zimbabwe.
