Speaking at an Investment and Trade Initiative seminar organised by the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) at a Bulawayo hotel yesterday, South Africa’s Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms Elizabeth Thabethe, urged businesspeople in Bulawayo to grab the opportunities brought about by her country and establish trade relations.
