“Exhibition bookings are now open and the response to the sales and marketing efforts has been very positive,” Moyo said.
Moyo assured the event’s stakeholders of a Covid-19 safe show as he pledged that his company would take all the necessary measures to ensure that everyone will be safe.
“Based on the success and learnings of last year’s show, the ZITF Company wishes to assure its various stakeholders of its commitment to ensuring that all reasonable steps will be taken to promote and maintain safe and healthy conditions for participants,” he said.
“We will continue to work with local and national health authorities to format the show in a manner that complies with health and safety regulations and minimise exposure risk to Covid-19,” Moyo assured.
If the ZITF Company, a parastatal under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, manages to hold the event in April, this would mark the return of the event to its traditional slot of April annually. Last year the event was held in September while the previous year it was not held due to lockdown measures put in place by the government to contain the spread of Covid-19.
