Katutura Expo helps local SMEs
This year's Katutura Expo promises a week of sport, entertainment and a chance for small businesses to catch the eye of the buying public.
Katutura East regional councillor Ambrosius Kandjii says the Katutura Expo provides Katutura-based small and medium enterprises with a unique opportunity to showcase their businesses and get a leg up.
He was speaking at the launch of the 2018 Katutura Expo recently.
According to him, after numerous engagements and consultations with various corporate and public-sector institutions with regard to the hosting of this year's Katutura Expo, positive feedback was received.
“These corporate and public-sector institutions committed themselves financially and technically to the cause of the Katutura Expo, which is to provide an entrepreneurial platform where small and medium enterprises from Katutura, but not limited thereto, can showcase their products and services in order to attain long-term growth through expansion of their client base and the acquisition of capital,” said Kandjii.
This year's Katutura Expo promises to be fun filled, judging by the activities of its entertainment committee.
This year's expo offers upcoming artists the chance to showcase their talent from Wednesday through to Friday, while an even bigger bash is planned is planned for Saturday.
The head of the entertainment committee, Shepherd Muhaindjumba, said all artists were invited to perform at the expo from Wednesday to Friday. According to him, it is an initiative to promote young and upcoming artists.
“There will be live bands. Artists are encouraged to make contact with us if they would like to perform but they must do it before Wednesday. The big bash will be on Saturday, it is a surprise who will perform so keep your eyes and ears open for this one,” said Muhaindjumba.
Artists are encouraged to contact Muhaindjumba on 081 230 5475 if they want to perform at the expo. Apart from the live performances, visitors to this year's expo will also be entertained by traditional performances.
Other entertainment activities planned include a football tournament that will be held on Friday. “We are having an under-13 football tournament. It will be a seven-a-side tournament held at the Hope Village pitch. This one is specifically for the children,” said Muhaindjumba
Gates to the expo will open at 08:00 and N$20 will get you in if you are an adult, or N$10 for children.
Kandjii thanked the sponsors that made the expo possible.
