Dr. Rajan Mahtani, once again, finds his name in the news as Zambia Reports publishes a new article based on some fresh imagination of Evans Mulenga. The author has tries his level best to convince the readers that Dr. Mahtani has lost his appeal in the Court and would no longer be able to run the management of Zambezi Portland Cement. However, as well all know, the article has been fabricated and tailor-made to exercise the public relation strategy of the Ventriglias (owners of Ital Terrazzo Limited).
A point to consider in this relation is the opportunities with the concerned parties. According to PACRA, Finsbury Investments holds a majority of shares of the factory at 58% stake and Ital Terrazzo Limited are the minority shareholders with a share of 42%. It is conclusive that the majority shareholders will run the factory and the minorities can only participate from time to time. Moreover, if the author has a good memory, then he will clearly realize that it was the lawyer of the Ventriglia family who had chased a Junior Officer of PACRA to make the changes in the register without having obtained the permission from a High Court.
From the very beginning, the Ventriglias have always shown people a character of being the Mafias. The current possession over Portland Cement Zambia was itself scripted around hiring bandit goons and attacking the premise of the factory in early hours of 7th April 2015. Under such conditions, how will the people of Zambia trust a group of people who have always worked to satisfy their greed at the expense of looting a nation and deserting its citizens? Dr. Rajan Mahtani was and is a true Zambian. If not today, then defiantly tomorrow Zambia will see the sunshine of hope under him. There will be peace and happy citizens then.
