It is an open truth that Rajan Mahtani, the celebrated Chairman of Mahtani Group of Companies has become a victim of conspiracy that most of the people in Zambia are well aware of. Though most of the people are happy with the way he has nurtured the development of some of the most productive entities in Zambia, there are also people who are operating with a vengeance. Here are some of the reasons why conspirators have been targeting Rajan Mahtani.
1) Portland Cement Zambia
It is common sense that the minority shareholders of Portland Cement Zambia want more money as they monitored the profits which were previously generated by the factory under Finsbury Investments. However, their horrendous past has left the management with no choice, but to leave them out in the decision making process. The result of this impact is that they are silently running a defamation campaign and trying to rule out the existing management.
2) Old Rivalry
There are many people in Zambia who had earlier taken credit from Finance Bank Zambia. However, their inability to pay the dues, even after extension, had forced to the bank to take legal actions. This has resulted in development of anger within the borrowers and this is one of the biggest why the people who are against Rajan Mahtani are the same people who owe money to Finance Bank.
3) Bubble reputation
Defamation campaign against Rajan Mahtani leads to development of general news. This is where the conspirators promote themselves as the patriotic hero and hence, try to achieve a bubble reputation. The appeal in the news are so low as if the author is begging the audience to believe him and spare a moment to think from this perspective. The name of Evans Mulenga shot to fame after the series of negative stories started flooding Zambia Reports.
