Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Works and Transport minister John Mutorwa called on the Rundu Town Council (RTC) to use public platforms such as trade fairs to exhibit and explain its present and future development plans.<\/p>\n

Mutorwa said while officially opening the Rundu Trade Fair last week, which started here on 27 October, that many trade fairs are held throughout the country during October for economic resuscitation and the economic development of towns, regions and the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cRundu has immeasurable potential, but what are the Rundu Town Council\u2019s plans in terms of developing this town?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He said the RTC still operates from historic offices, and should convert the now-dilapidated, pre-fabricated buildings into proper, modern public offices. Mutorwa added that three years from now, he hopes to attend a ground-breaking ceremony for the practical commencement of the construction of a modern office building for the town council.<\/p>\n

The minister then commended all institutions and individuals who made financial contributions during the RTC\u2019s fundraising gala dinner, where it raised over N$250 000, saying trade fairs create a platform for institutions to share relevant information about their services.<\/p>\n

On her part, chairperson of the Rundu Trade Fair organising committee Fransiska Thikerete-Kupembona said they wanted to create an environment where both large and small institutions could flourish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, the main exhibition hall is packed to capacity and includes exhibitors coming on board for the first time such as Specsavers, Letshego Bank, Fudlink, Welwitschia Fund and Mboma Street Wear, amongst others,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Thikerete-Kupembona said this year\u2019s trade fair has 114 exhibitors, compared to 103 exhibitors last year. The event concluded on Saturday, 4 November.<\/p>\n
