PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has given the green light for the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) this year in Bulawayo.
In 2020, the event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.
The fair brings together captains of industry, farmers, entrepreneurs including local and international investors. It will be held from 20 to 23 July 2021.
“Please be advised that the President has approved that Zimbabwe International Trade Fair be held during the period 20th to 23rd July 2021,” reads a letter to the ZITF chairperson Busisa Moyo and signed by the secretary in the Ministry of Industry Mavis Sibanda.
The government has relaxed operations of industry and commerce after they were curtailed for the greater part of 2020 and early this year due to the spike in new Covid-19 infections and deaths.

ORGANISERS of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) have put plans in motion for this year’s edition despite continued Covid-19 induced uncertainties over the resumption of the global trade showcase.
ZITF was last year forced to cancel the often week-long event owing to an unprecedented lockdown period that stretched right to the end of the year and even spilled into 2021.
In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, ZITF acting General Manager, Nick Ndebele said hopes the event will be held this year were high as Covid-19 cases are dropping while the virus vaccine was now being rolled out.
