The board, which will serve a three-year term, will be led by Jerome Mutumba, an Executive with the Development Bank of Namibia, as chairperson. Ester Hoveka will serve as the deputy chairperson.
Other members of the board include Edward Kafita, Cliff Olivier, Elizabeth Kamutuezu, Tangeni Nghiwewelekwa, and Eva Fritz-Tomas. The new board replaces the previous board, which was led by Amon Ngavetene.
