The Meat Corporation of Namibia (Meatco) has appointed Albertus Aochamub as its Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective 2 September 2025.
His six-month appointment follows a shareholder secondment nomination and approval by the Meatco Board of Directors.
Aochamub takes over from Kingsley Kwenani, who served as Acting CEO from 15 July until his term ended on 31 August 2025. Kwenani, currently CEO of Meatco NCA, was appointed after the suspension of Patrick Liebenberg in July.
Liebenberg, who also held the position of Executive for Livestock Procurement & Production, was suspended on 14 July 2025 pending an investigation.
“The Board of Directors warmly welcomes Ambassador Aochamub to Meatco. His vision, strategic insight, and wealth of experience will be invaluable as the company strengthens its role in serving local customers while expanding its reach across regional and international markets with premium Namibian beef products,” the meat processor’s board said.
According to Meatco, Aochamub brings extensive experience in executive leadership, governance, economic diplomacy, value-chain development, and agro-industrial strategy.
With a proven record in institutional reforms, export-led growth, and positioning Namibia in global markets, he is expected to guide Meatco towards operational stability and long-term sustainability.
Meatco has been operating without a substantive CEO since the contract of former Chief Executive Mwilima Mushokabanji ended on 31 January 2025
