Sezvo zviso zvitsva zvinobatanidzwa mumushandirapamwe, pfungwa ye "mhinduro yakanaka" yakakura, sezvo simba rinoiswa muchiito chimwe rinoratidza shure mubasa revamwe vakawanda.

DSEI inoitika muLondon docklands makore maviri ega ega. Pamusoro pemakambani e1,500 anotora chikamu, achiratidza zvombo zvehondo kuvanhu vanopfuura zviuru makumi matatu, kusanganisira vamiriri vemauto kubva kunyika dzine marekodhi ekodzero dzevanhu uye nyika dziri muhondo.

DSEI inorongwa nekambani yakazvimirira inonzi Clarion Events, nerutsigiro ruzere rwehurumende yeBritain, iyo inopa kukoka zviri pamutemo kune vamiriri vemauto pasi rose.

Kurwisana nemitambo yezvombo seDSEI kwakakosha, nokuti ndiyo imwe yezvakajeka, kuratidzwa kwakasimba kwekutengeserana kwezvombo; vatengesi vezvombo chaivo vachishambadza midziyo yehondo yavanovaka kumauto ari kutsvaga tekinoroji yechizvinozvino.

Masvondo mashoma pamberi pekuratidzira kwaizotanga meya achangosarudzwa weLondon, Sadiq Khan, akati aida kuona DSEI yarambidzwa, asi akanga asina simba pachake rokuzvimisa.
