John Walenga discusses the Ondonga King potato project
July 7, 2025
Ondonga King, Omukwanilwa Fillemon Nangolo, is championing potato farming as a strategic move toward household food security, urging citizens to take charge of their own food production and reduce reliance on imports. His potato project at Okashana village in the Oshikoto Region has already sparked interest, including praise from Member of Parliament Job Amupanda, who says this is the first initiative of its kind in the northern communal areas.
To give us more insight into this powerful vision — and how traditional leadership is driving agricultural change — we were joined by John Walenga, Chairperson of the Ondonga Traditional Authority.
