The bonanza intends to support small businesses, including retailers, service providers as well as food and beverage vendors.
“Embracing the spirit shown during the previous editions, we plan to invite various entrepreneurs to exhibit their products and services during the event,” Mr Kavishe said.
The bonanza will help connect the retailers directly to customers via the twitter platform. The products, which can be viewed via the platform include electronics, clothes, and shoes, packed cereals, bottled milk and processed meat.
