Midlands State University at ZITF 2015

1. As has become the norm, Midlands State University took part at the recently held Zimbabwe
International Trade Fair.
The premium business exhibition show, which is held in Bulawayo, ran from the 28th
of April
to the 2nd
of May, under the theme “Stimulating Trade, Seizing opportunities to accelerate
growth”.
This year’s theme articulated the national aspiration contained in the country’s economic
blueprint, ZIM-ASSET, and the university played its part in contributing to the nation’s
economic revival.
The MSU stand was a hive of activity throughout the fair as potential stakeholders got the
opportunity to interact with university officials in person to find out more about the
institution.
Notable guests at the stand included the First Lady, Dr Grace Mugabe and the Minister of
Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development, Oppah Muchinguri.
On display at the stand were several products from different departments such as Music and
Musicology, Food Science and Nutrition and Horticulture.
Despite the economic challenges hampering the country, this year’s edition of ZITF drew
participants from over 17 countries.
