Coupled with the biggest annual agricultural exhibition, Hararians will be spoilt for choice this weekend.

Various activities are lined up today and tomorrow at the annual Harare Agricultural Show at the Exhibition Park Grounds where exhibitors and entertainers will showcase their products.

Radio stations and entertainment companies will provide fun for show goers during the two days with a music clash dubbed “Show Cup Clash” scheduled for tomorrow at City Sports Centre.

The clash will see dancehall musicians competing for supremacy.
