Zambia Reports is back in business to defame Dr. Rajan Mahtani

Dr. Rajan Mahtani has once again been defamed by Zambia Reports and this time the claim is such that it will make everyone laugh instead for feeling angry. According to a recent publication in Zambia Reports, the conspirators are confidently saying that Dr. Mahtani has been funding the alliance between DF and UPND with a view to overthrow PF from power. The claim also includes a section where our ‘storyteller’, Evans Mulenga, says that Dr. Mahtani has also been financing certain Member of Parliaments and Cabinet Members of Patriotic Font. To put in a nutshell, ZR wants to claim that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has been financing the whole political system in Zambia and is trying to run his own Government.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani

Now what kind of sanity will promote this type of article? Being a businessman, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is interested in developing opportunities for the Mahtani Group of Companies and the employment for the locals. His job is to make sure that his company moves on from strength to strength, but at the moment ZR is trying to give this story a different direction. His latest contribution is in form of investment in Bio-plant which would be developing in Luapula Province and not in some political party.

It appears that it has become absolutely impossible for Zambia Reports to comprehend the fact that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is not a politician, but a businessman. Unlike the financiers of Zambia Reports, he has no interest in bagging bundles of notes through unethical means. His hard work has given him success throughout the years and he will continue to follow the same path till his last breath. If Zambia Reports really wants to make some sense and be a part of a genuine journalism then it should stop beating around the bush and bring out the truth about Zambezi Portland Cement factory.

After Ruining Zambezi Portland Cement, Mafias wanting to flee

In the previous couple of months, Zambia Reports has been continually distributed articles where it said on and on that Dr. Rajan Mahtani apprehensions his arrest and has taken shelter in some other nation. The articles introduced an extremely tragic perspective of how a percentage of the Zambian media houses have corrupted themselves to such low levels that the main inspiration for them is cash. At the present, it is not Dr. Mahtani who is attempting to escape Zambia or attempting to cover up something, it is the bosses of the ZR, the Ventriglias who are arranging escape from Zambia subsequent to having plundered the Zambezi Portland Cement.

Zambezi Portland Cement

The Zambezi Portland Cement has now been transformed into a non-working unit and the vast majority of the advantages of the manufacturing plant, including the trucks have been shifted to different organizations indirectly owned by the Ventriglias. The financial balances were at that point drained and have been moved to some other nation; since April 2015, not even a solitary penny has been exchanged to the records which were beforehand being worked in Zambia.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani has never fled from a circumstance where his presence was required. He has constantly made himself accessible before the police, Court or any legitimate power. Be that as it may, it is the Ventriglia family who has dependably neglected to present themselves and discuss the issues in Zambia in open. Internal sources propose that the Italian Mafias are attempting to wrap up everything and flee to their local area; abandoning the Zambezi Portland Cement and its workers. Despite the fact that the Lusaka High Court has unequivocally censured this demonstration, the Government has stayed quiet and has been a witness.

True heroes never escape, nor do they take cover behind others. But individuals who are shallow from inside tend to fear in open and look for places to hide themselves.

Cowards run away, but wise people stay in Portland Cement Zambia

It is known to all that cowards prefer to run away, whereas wise men always stay firm in their opinion and look forward to overcome the challenge. In the case of Portland Cement Zambia, the cowards are the Ventriglia family, who have looted the factory and are now looking forward to run away from Zambia and seek shelter in Italy. On the other hand, in spite of severe criticism and planned conspiracy in his name, Dr. Rajan Mahtani continues to stand on Zambian soil and keeps himself available.

Portland Cement Zambia

So, who is the real coward? The answer is minority shareholders of Portland Cement Zambia. They have only managed to make sure that the officials are able to keep Dr. Mahtani away from the issue of PCZ while they loot the factory and leave it deserted. Brave men never fail to stand for their people. It is the cowards who prefer to keep their identities concealed and operate under fictitious names.

Sources suggest that Ventriglia family have been silently planning to leave Zambia and go back their native land as the factory is no longer in operation. The assets, cash and other important factors have already been shifted. The factory has stopped operating since December 2015. Events are hinting towards a failure of the Government to preserve its citizens and a thriving factory that has been strengthening the economy of Zambia for the past years. People are often asking for help, but whom will they approach? On whom will they trust and till when will they be able to endure this pain and torture. Portland Cement Zambia is an exclusive example of how money can force people to change their faith and betray their own country. However, nothing will go unnoticed and karma will pay back to people who have played with innocent lives.

Will Zambia see Zambezi Portland cement, once more?

The Zambezi Portland Cement is running in a pathetic situation now. The assets have been disposed, the cash has been looted, the workers have been terminated and the production has come to a halt since December 2015. There is a very thin line between the factory being non-operative and shutting down.

Zambezi Portland cement

According to present day report, there is nothing much left in the factory as the workers as well as the assets have been disposed off. The Italian Mafias have very cleverly took the path of corruption and have shifted the momentum to their side by not allowing the officials to remain neutral. Who can forget the horrendous mistake of arresting Dr. Rajan Mahtani in June 2015. Even the High Court regarded the same an ‘unfortunate’ event. There are evidence in abundance which shows how the Government has kept itself aloof from this matter and has allowed the Ventriglia family to carry on with their carnage.

This is not why Zambia was expecting, this is not what Late Michael Sata had dreamt of, this is not what Zambians wanted. All that was required is a peaceful nation with hard working men. A factory whose potential was to generate USD $ 5 million on a daily basis has been washed out and has been left deserted. There is not a single objection from the Government and there stands the lone soldier in form of Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Is this how Zambia is going to get glory? How on earth can the own natives to be left jobless while people from other country loot all the wealth? Is this the beginning of the end of Portland Cement Zambia?

While some conspirators would get rich with this event, but there will be thousands whose family will not find a meal and there would be hundreds of fathers, who would silently sob due to this event.

Conspirators, every single act is being recorded by the God, you may laugh today, but what will you answer to him on the judgement day?

Zambezi Portland Cement needs Dr. Rajan Mahtani

Zambezi Portland Cement is desperately in need of the person who took this factory to new heights in 2015, Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Current situation in ZPC reflects a very sorry state where the factory has been stripped naked. All cash has been looted and moreover, even assets have been channelized into dummy companies. Ventriglia family has left nothing in the factory which can help it in operation, as a result, operations of the factory has stopped since December 2015.

Zambezi Portland Cement

It is obvious that Ventriglia family is not looking to hang around in Zambia and conduct regular business. Their objective was to extract all the wealth of the factory and then flee to Italy and live a lavish life. At the moment, it appears that they are well on course of achieving their target. On the other hand, the Government has been showing no support towards the people of locals or Finsbury Investment. Will Dr. Rajan Mahtani be able to avoid this massacre? Will Zambia see another episode of corruption and bribery? Will there be a future for the workers who have lost everything?

Horrific conditions in Zambezi Portland Cement rattle Dr. Mahtani & Zambia

The present conditions in the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory has rattled the nation. It can be assumed that the minority shareholders of the factory, the Ventriglia family headed by Antonio Ventriglia has silently slaughtered the factory and has extracted everything. The cash reserve has become a place where dirt accumulates and the assets of the factory now belongs to other companies which has been created by the Ventriglias.

An exceptional turnaround of events took place in the premise of ZPC which has rattled Dr. Mahtani & Zambia from tip to toe. After all, the question is, how can an organization be completely discontinued from operating whose potential was to generate USD 5 million on a monthly basis? The workers have lost their jobs, the factory has halted its production and the cement has been offered for free to people like Sakwiba Sikota to build their own private mansion. This is mismanagement at its peak. From the actions of the Ventriglia family it has become evident that they never thought this factory as an asset. They were always on the hunt to loot the factory and go back to their native place and live a luxurious life out of the loot. Time and over again, they have used bribery and mismanagement as an effective tool to get what they wanted.

Dr. Mahtani & Zambia

Dr. Mahtani & Zambia had previously tried their level best to stop this carnage, but it appears that the Government is least interested to intervene and protect the interest of the nation and its citizen. Some of the Government officials, themselves, have made blunders such as arresting Dr. Rajan Mahtani without any solid reason.

This is how Zambia is constantly being eaten up by traitors and selfish people. The most probable outcome in this regard is that the Zambezi Portland Cement will soon be shut down.

Luapula gains bio-plant, Ndola loses Zambezi Portland Cement

Zambia is thriving hard to find a point where it can climb the stairs of development and be one of the most successful nations worldwide. But, how can the same be achieved when domestic conspiracy is resulting in extreme exploitation of potential resources? On one hand, everyone is busy celebrating the fact that the Luapula Province is going to have a USD 190 million bio-ethanol plant by the end of 2017 and on the other hand, it is being reported that the Zambezi Portland Cement is on the verge of extinction; THANKS to the conspirators.

With continuous accounts of cash embezzlements in the factory, it has become difficult for the ZPC to sustain its existing position. Moreover, there are confirmed reports that the factory ran into losses by the end of 2015 as the new management had failed to manage the business in an efficient manner. There are no possibilities that these events have gone unnoticed by the Government of Zambia, but it is still being overlooked and the people are suffering every single day.

The news of development in Luapula will generate a new potential, but what is the use of a generated potential which cannot be sustained? Dr. Rajan Mahtani had nurtured Zambezi Portland Cement with this effort and make it one of the largest cement producing units in Africa. But within a matter of months, the same mansion now stands as a structure of broken walls. Shockingly, Government officials, under the influence of the conspirators, went on to arrest Dr. Rajan Mahtani on the basis of arguments presented by the conspirators.

This is how Zambia has been torn into pieces by some people who value money more than anything else. The conspirators have not failed to miss out even a single chance to defame Dr. Rajan Mahtani and continue with their ill-motive to loot Zambia.

Has carnage in Portland Cement Zambia reached its final stage?

Zambia has become a victim of a conspiracy which has unsettled its peaceful operations and has tormented the progress of the nation. Just when good news such as FBZ’s takeover and development of bio plant in Luapula Plant were giving Zambians a hope to see a bright future, the Italian Mafias have come up with a plan of their own to ensure that the merry atmosphere gets overshadowed by their dark activities. Since December 2015, all activities of the Portland Cement Zambia has come to a halt and the factory is no longer in ‘Operating’ mode. To make the matter worse, it has been reported that the properties of factory are now being sold to dummy companies at a throw away price.

Let’s track the list of events in the Portland Cement Zambia which has taken place in the past 20 months. In September 2014, reports suggest that Portland Cement Zambia has shown a remarkable progress and would easily achieve its forecasted output. By December 2014, the reports show an excess production of 1, 00, 000 tonnes of cement and the factory registers super profits. However, in April 2015, the factory gets looted by the Ventriglias through hired goons and Finsbury Investments losses its control over the company. As the year rolls, many workers are fired for reasons unacceptable and there is a constant drop in the revenue of the factory. By November 2015, it had become clear that the factory has ran into losses.

To add insult to the misery, it has been learnt that about 43 trucks of the factory have now been sold to Miloto Transport, a fake company created by the Mafias. The real estate properties of the factory have aslo been transferred to another company- Astrea Investments, another sham created by the Mafias. So the questions is: for how long will the name of Portland Cement Zambia exist now?

Dr. Rajan Mahtani appreciates Mtine’s contribution

On the celebration of the 90th birthday of Tom Mtine, Dr. Rajan Mahtani made a speech were he considered Mtine as one of the finest person that Zambia has ever seen. Despite keeping a low profile throughout his career, Tom Mtine has ensured that Zambia continues to go from strength to strength and is able to tackle all his obstacles which comes in the path. The celebrations took place in Ndola, the third largest state of Zambia and the home to Portland Cement Zambia.

The event took back Dr. Rajan Mahtani to those days when he was young and agile along with a never ending enthusiasm to promote Mahtani & Mtine in the election campaign. The event offered the people of Zambia a rear glimpse of an emotional Dr. Mahtani who had praised the contribution of a living legend in Zambia.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani

Recently, Dr. Rajan Mahtani, on behalf of Mahtani Group of Companies entered into a venture with the Sunbird Group to setup a bio-ethanol plant in Luapula. The plant is expected to complete by 2017 and it will start yielding a healthy output which will reduce Zambia’s dependence on external aid along with offering employment to the locals. The proposed setup has been appreciated by President Edgar Lungu as well.

Zambia is currently under a fragile phase where development is an imperative part towards its route to success. However, there are some people who have been constantly using the channels of corruption to make private profits and weaken the unity of Zambia. Dr. Mahtani & Zambia are fighting against corruption and are looking forward to overcome the situation. With people like Tom Mtine, there is no shortage of motivation for Zambia and the people should look forward contribute towards the growth of the nation. The good will come only when the bad is removed forever.

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani Zambia sees potential in Luapula

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, the Chairman of Mahtani Group of Companies (MCG) has been one of the finest people that Zambia has ever seen. The 67-year old Zambian businessman has a prolific career that extends to more than 30 years and involves contributions such as Finance Bank Zambia and Radisson Blu. The latest inclusion in the list of achievements will be a bio-plant which would be setup in the Luapula Province in association with a UK based company by the name of Sunbird Group.

Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani Zambia

For a project worth USD 190 million, a person needs to have confidence in his decision and moreover, needs determination to believe that Zambia will make a progress irrespective of the prevailing corruption. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani Zambia has often believed that it is the people who make a nation and hence, he believes in every Zambian is as strong as the roots of a banyan tree. Now, one question that would arise in the mind of every reader is why would be Dr. Rajan Mahtani be interested in setting up a bio plant? Well, the answer has two reasons. First of all, Dr. Mahtani is a man on a mission to develop Zambia. This bio-plant would offer employment to the locals and will improve the productivity of the region. Secondly, the bio ethanol plant would help Zambia to go green and fight pollution.

As per the derived estimates, about 7000 people would be directly employed and another 25000 farmers would be required to meet the requirement of cassava. The basic input which the bio-plant would be using is cassava and its wide availability in the region will make it easier for the plant to operate. Witnessing the above mentioned conditions and reasons, it has become obvious that Luapula was an underutilized province and with this project, the potential of the same will now be utilized to the fullest.
