THE 2025 Sanganayi/Hlanganani Business Expo will be held in Mutare as part of the Government’s rotational policy to boost tourism, trade, and investment promotions in all the country’s ten provinces, a Cabinet Minister has said.
Speaking during the Post-Cabinet meeting in Harare yesterday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Dr Jenfan Muswere, said the Government has decided to decentralise the expo across the country.
“Cabinet received the report on preparations for hosting the 2025 Sanganayi/Hlanganani Business Expo and approved its proposed decentralisation.
“The Expo 2025 will be held from September 10 to 12 in Mutare, Manicaland Province, in line with the devolution principle and the development philosophy of ‘leaving no one and no place behind.’
“Going forward, the Sanganayi/Hlanganani Tourism Expo will be held on a rotational basis across the 10 provinces.
“This will enhance the profiling and rebranding of the respective provinces for tourism, trade and investment promotion.”
Dr Muswere said Cabinet also considered and approved the Preparations for the Expo 2025 Osaka Report, as presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Honourable Professor Amon Murwira.
“The Expo 2025 will be held in Osaka, Japan, from 13th April to 13th October 2025. A 12-member delegation led by a Commissioner-General will represent Zimbabwe at the high-profile international event.
“Plans are already at an advanced stage to establish the Zimbabwe Pavilion and the identification of public and private institutions, especially the business community representatives that will showcase content in the following key sectors of the economy: tourism; mining; education; innovation and agriculture.
“Content creation is already at an advanced stage, while construction of the Pavilion, commercial space and development of websites is already underway.
“The highlights of the six-month long Expo 2025 programme will include the Zimbabwe National Day to be graced by His Excellency President Cde Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa on the 16th July 2025.
“The event will provide a platform to harness investment dividends and other collaborative opportunities, as the President will be engaging both international investors and the Diaspora community in Japan.”
