The 55th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair roars into life in Bulawayo today with President Mugabe expected to officially open the fair on Friday.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Congo-Brazzaville's president Denis Sassou Nguesso can no longer open the premier trade event.

Industry and Commerce Minister Mike Bimha yesterday said ZITF was now being officially opened by President Mugabe.

This year's ZITF is themed: "New Ideas to New Heights - Progress through Innovation".
