Walter Mswazie in Masvingo
THE 99th edition of the Masvingo Provincial Agriculture Show roars to life today under the theme, “Unlocking Investment Potential for Economic Recovery”.

Almost 100 percent of exhibition space has been taken, according to organisers. Show society president, Mr Philip Mauto, said this year’s expo was oversubscribed given the overwhelming interest from new exhibitors.

“All the allocated exhibition space has been taken up and we are ready for the four-day provincial premier show,” he said.

“This year’s show has an improved package and for the first time after a long period, we have invited the Luna Park from Bulawayo. The Luna Park has already been set and a lot of entertainment activities are also lined up. “We are going to have Andy Muridzo as the guest musician and he will be supported by a number of local musical groups, which include Great Zimbabwe University musical group.”

Uniformed forces will also share the stage. As of Tuesday, Mr Mauto said, 129 companies had already occupied their stands compared to last year’s 105.
He said the four-day annual provincial agricultural show provides a platform for strategic business synergies and will be officially opened by a yet to be announced guest of honour.
