David Katunga Ngoma

Executive Chairman

He completed his senior secondary education in 2002 at the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) mission Kafue Boys’ Secondary School in Zambia. He spent a gap year in 2005, in Germany, were he undertook German language classes at the Goethe-Institute, Neue Schonhauser Campus in Berlin, Germany. In 2006, he enrolled at the University of Zambia to pursue a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine but left after one semester to join the family business in farming and hospitality. While in Germany, he volunteered as an Agribusiness Development Planner under one of the various planning committees of the Bonn Agreement. The agribusiness planning tasks involved the alternative livelihood cropping programs from the illegal Opium Poppy farming to the legal Saffron farming in the western provinces of Herat and Farah, and the southern provinces of Helmand and Kandahar in Afghanistan. The Bonn Agreement was the initial series of agreements passed in 2001, during an international conference on Afghanistan held in Bonn. It was intended as a post-conflict reconstruction of Afghanistan following the U.S. invasion of the country that followed the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Bonn Agreement laid the foundation for Western-backed state-building efforts in Afghanistan. This model for state-building in Afghanistan was based on a “maximalist model of post-conflict reconstruction” that surfaced in the 1990s, following international interventions in the Balkans, sub-Saharan Africa and East Timor. He has a broad comprehension of the agricultural sector in Southern Africa and possesses excellent critical thinking and creativity skills in agribusiness project origination, and agricultural enterprise business plan(s) design, development, and drafting, commonly referred to as the Three (3) Ds of project conceptualization.
