Ngoma completed his PhD in Economic History from the University of Gothenburg in 2024. His research interest and focus is on state and business relations. Ngoma´s research combines history and diplomacy to show how tools of statecraft are influenced by the interaction between states and firms.

It will primarily examine how economic interests and tools of statecraft were conceived and applied geopolitically during apartheid.
