The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform has appointed former Meatco Interim Chief Executive Officer Kingsley Kwenani as the new Deputy Executive Director for the Department of Agriculture, effective 1 September 2025.
Kwenani previously served as Interim CEO of Meatco before the recent appointment of Albertus Aochamub.
He also headed Meatco NCA (Pty) Ltd and holds a Master of Business Administration from Regent Business School and a Master of Agriculture from the University of Pretoria.
With three decades of experience in the sector, he is expected to play a key role in advancing Namibia’s agricultural agenda.
“Ms Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata, Executive Director of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, warmly welcomes Mr Kingsley M. Kwenani as the new Deputy Executive Director for the Department of Agriculture, effective 1 September 2025,” the ministry said.
Kwenani expressed enthusiasm for the new role, saying he looks forward to contributing to Namibia’s agricultural development, particularly by integrating communal farmers into the national economy.
Executive Director Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata added that Kwenani’s appointment would strengthen the ministry’s efforts to create an enabling environment, develop strategies, and implement programmes that enhance food and nutrition security for all Namibians.
