The globe significantly improved in the years that followed the Covid-19 pandemic’s devastating effects on the economy and society, which began in 2019. The year 2022 concluded on a bright note and was undoubtedly better than prior years. The declaration from the President of Zambia was one of many good news announcements that were made during the year. On the occasion of Africa Day, President Hakainde Hichilema declared that his administration intends to totally abolish death row. One of the first people to applaud this statement from the president of Zambia was well-known businessman, philanthropist, and volunteer Dr. Rajan Mahtani.
In an excerpt from his interview with the “Mast Newspaper,” Dr. Rajan Mahtani congratulated the President of Zambia for making such a strong statement at the right time. Only someone who respects the “right to life,” respects basic human rights, and respects God will be able to make such a decision, according to Dr. Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Mahtani went on to say that Prison Fellowship Zambia, his business, would offer complete legal and regulatory support to make sure that this news came to pass as quickly as possible. Dr. Rajan Mahtani founded Prison Fellowship Zambia more than three decades ago, and even before that, he opposed the death penalty. Dr. Mahtani has long believed that the death sentence is an outdated law that is not only cruel but also brutal and demeaning. As a result, Dr. Mahtani stated that his organization Prison Fellowship will make sure to provide the Zambian government with all help in making this choice.
Among Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s many charitable efforts over the years is Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ). Dr. Rajan Mahtani received the “Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year” award for 2021 in recognition of his altruistic and philanthropic efforts as well as his role in reshaping Zambia’s banking industry. One of Forbes’ highest honors in the “Best of Africa” category, it. In a similar vein, Dr. Mahtani keeps offering his assistance and knowledge for Zambia’s economic and social development and growth.
