At a meeting of the Board of Directors, The Hon. Zamba Duku, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Central Equatoria State in southern Sudan, and former General Manager of The Savannah Farmers Cooperative (Company) (SFC), was invited to become a member of the Board.

At that same meeting in April, 2007, he was appointed to become the Managing Director of the SFC. He will, on behalf of the Board of Directors, implement all policies and decisions of the Board. He will not be paid a salary, but his expenses in connection with the SFC will be reimbursed.

His responsibilities will include the oversight of the General Manager, (to be announced), as well as having direct access to all accounting and records through the Account/Secretary, Miss Fiona Onyinda.

Mr. Duku has proven himself to be a highly respected member of the government of Southern Sudan, both at the Federal and State levels. Within the Savannah Farmers Cooperative, he acts in his private capacity, as a private Sudanese citizen, as do all Board Members.

His leadership has proven to be impeccably honest, forthright and he is of unimpeachable character. He represents both Sudan and the Savannah Farmers Cooperative with honour.
