Final touches to Tura expo
The chairperson of the Katutura Expo's local organising committee Ambrosius Kandjii announced that the preparation for the 2017 expo is currently underway.
Kandjii said this year's event is envisaged to be bigger and better than the previous years. “Over the years the numbers have increased from 3 000 when we started to 26 000 to date and we expect these numbers to grow even bigger this year,” said Kandjii. Last year the expo had about 47 corporate exhibitors, 40 small- and medium-enterprises and 55 micro-businesses that exhibited at the event.
This year's expo will comprise of a trade expo of small- and medium-enterprises, an agricultural show of various livestock breeds, sport activities and religious as well as faith-based activities. “As per our tradition we will also have musical performances from various local artists and traditional performances from renowned cultural groups,” added Kandjii.
The organising committee also called on sponsors to get on board for the expo this year to ensure the success of the event. “We extend our gratitude to all our sponsors throughout the years but we once again urge you to come on board in full swing for the expo this year,” said Kandjii.
The annual Katutura expo is slated to take place from 1 to 6 August at the Katutura Multipurpose Youth Centre. This year's expo will be held under the theme 'Driving towards breaking barriers of economic inequality'.
