Ndola, Taraba – May 17, 2025
Emmanuel Kumknaba has been elected as the new Chairman of the Ndola Cultural Development Association (NCDA), succeeding the outgoing chairman in a highly anticipated leadership transition.
Kumknaba, a well-respected community leader and advocate for cultural preservation, emerged victorious in a closely contested election held earlier today.
His election is seen as a significant step towards revitalizing the association and reinforcing the cultural identity of the Copperbelt region.
Speaking to supporters after the announcement, Kumknaba expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am deeply honored by the trust you have placed in me.
This is not just an individual achievement but a collective one. We have an opportunity to grow, learn, and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of our people is celebrated and passed down through generations.”
Supporters of Kumknaba’s candidacy have long admired his commitment to community development and his efforts to promote the arts and local traditions. “Emmanuel has been a tireless advocate for our culture, and his leadership will bring the kind of energy and vision we need to drive the association forward,” said one supporter, who wished to remain anonymous.
The NCDA, an influential body in Taraba’s cultural landscape, plays a key role in promoting traditional arts, preserving cultural practices, and fostering cross-cultural dialogue within the Copperbelt.
The association is also a significant player in organizing local festivals, cultural exhibitions, and community outreach programs aimed at engaging youth and fostering a sense of pride in local heritage.
Kumknaba’s election comes at a time when there is a growing demand for the rejuvenation of Ndola cultural institutions, with an emphasis on empowering younger generations to take an active role in preserving their history.
Many believe that Kumknaba’s background and track record make him uniquely positioned to meet these challenges.
“I believe in the power of culture to unite and transform communities,” Kumknaba remarked in his acceptance speech. “My priority will be to strengthen the relationship between the association and the community, ensuring that every voice is heard and that we actively engage our youth in cultural preservation.”
As outgoing chairman prepares to formally hand over the leadership, Kumknaba is expected to outline his vision for the future, focusing on key areas such as youth involvement, cultural education, and expanding the association’s outreach programs.
His leadership is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the NCDA, with a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity.
The handover ceremony is scheduled for later this week, marking the beginning of a new era for the Ndola Cultural Development Association.
