The premier event ran from August 29 to September 3 under the theme: “Unequalled Business Opportunities, Accessibility, Accountability and Abundance”. MTSTI managing director Morgan Zimunya said they had decided to revive their branch in Harare after realising the growing popularity of their products which have properties to treat a wide range of illnesses.
