Not only was the value of the Fair tallied in a boost to business coffers, the skills transfer and knowledge-sharing during masterclasses created a stimulating environment for future business leaders to be inspired.
In his closing remarks, Chairperson of the Economic Development and Planning Committee Councillor Sipho Kaunda said: “The business fair was a huge success based on the number of people who attended and supported local businesses. It was a success because of the many deals that were sealed both locally and internationally.”
