Since his early establishments and early successes, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has been actively involved in philanthropic and charitable activities. These contributions range from education, societal, community and environmental protection. Most of his contributions are private and Dr. Mahtani hardly advertises his contributions and philanthropic activities. Dr. Rajan Mahtani  has been actively involved in the educational sector with significant contributions. 

One of the major contributions by Dr. Rajan Mahtani in the educational field was the establishment of the Steven Malama Award. This award was established by Finance Bank Zambia which is chaired by Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani Gets Hope On Zambezi After 10 Years Fighting

The latest information shared by the Lusaka High Court is indeed good news for Dr. Mahtani and his team. He is a noted individual and businessman in Zambia and has been fighting this case for more than nine years now. He has claimed that the Ventriglias have illegally taken over the factory illegally. On the other hand, the Ventriglias have claimed that Dr. Mahtani or his company Finsbury Investments have not paid for the shares of ZPC. As a result of various issues and lack of support, the case is still pending at the court. 

While the case is going on, the major sufferer is the Zambezi Portland Factory and all those associated with the factory. Since its inception and till the time the factory was under Dr. Mahtani’s leadership, it blossomed and the productions were surplus. The factory was earning well which was evident with the more than average salaries given to its employees. During this time, the factory also became a preferred employer in the province and more people were willing to work to improve their life as well as increase the productivity of the factory. There were even talks to expanding the factory production and taking it to other provinces. However, the same cannot be said now as the condition of the factory is critical. The factory cash box has been emptied by the goons and the machines have started to erode. Workers have either left due to non-payment of wages or are still working in the hope of getting their wages back. 

It is time for the judge to look into these matters and provide sound judgment by giving the property right to its legal owner, Dr. Mahtani. 

Lusaka Hc Judgment Cheers Up Dr. Mahtani And Team

Where there is honesty, there will be corruption. Irrespective of state or country, this phenomenon can be seen across all spheres of the society. Dr. Mahtani has been facing a similar situation from the time he established his businesses in the Zambian nation. At present, he is fighting for the ownership of Zambezi Portland Cement which has been illegally captured by the Ventriglias.

The case has been going on for almost 10 years and during this time, Dr. Mahtani has submitted numerous statements, exhibits that clearly indicate his legal ownership over the factory. At the same time, the Ventriglias have always avoided court time whenever they were required to submit documents or evidence. It has been observed that by either bribing court officials or by using force, the Ventriglias have been twisting the judgment even since it was launched by Dr. Mahtani. Not only that, the Ventriglias has also tried to discredit Dr. Mahtani several times just to make their stance stronger. However, every time they tried to discredit him, the plot backfired and they have been severely warned by the judges.

The judge handling this case has announced that both parties will be submitting their evidence by December 2017 post evaluation of which, final judgment will be announced soon. This is indeed good news for Dr. Mahtani’s team and a worrisome environment can be easily seen on the Ventriglias side. It is high time for the court to make the right judgment and give back the factory to its real owner, Dr. Mahtani.  

Dr. Rajan Mahtani Fighting Hard To Get Justice For ZPC

The case between Dr. Rajan Mahtani and the Ventriglias is known to everyone. It is for the ownership of the Zambezi Portland Cement, a premier cement factory at Zambia. The cement factory was taken by force by the Ventriglias almost nine years ago. Since then, Finsbury Investments Limited owner Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been fighting the case at the Lusaka High Court.

The case took a positive turn when the judge handling this case announced that the hearing of the case is concluded and the final judgment will be announced soon. Since the case was launched, Finsbury Investments have shared various evidence and facts that justify their ownership over the cement factory. First of all, the total percentage of shares held by Finsbury Investments is 58 %, more than what the entire Ventriglias own which is 42 %. Second, independent auditors report proving that the cement factory ran as a joint venture group with Dr. Rajan Mahtani being the sole joint venture partner. Rest others had minority shares in the factory. The major claim made by the Ventriglias is that the shares held by Finsbury Investments are not paid for. However, this claim has been dismissed as Finsbury have valid agreements and exhibits that clearly indicate that Dr. Mahtani has not only paid for the shares capital but has also invested in excess of USD 8 million in the factory over the course.

Without any proper evidence or factual data, the Ventriglias have time and again resorted to false accusations like accusing Dr. Mahtani of arm-twisting and bribing government officials to bend the judgment in their direction. However, things have changed and it is expected that the court will make the right judgment this time.  

Portland Cement Zambia wants justice!

The brutal assassination of Portland Cement Zambia won't go unnoticed. Regardless of how well the plotters attempt and conceal these issues from the general population of Zambia, truth resemble a beam of light in a council of dimness and will win most importantly. The present situation in Zambia is being ruled by a gathering of greedy individuals whose goal is to keep the general population occupied with stories against Dr. Rajan Mahtani while they quietly plunder the assets of Zambia.

To redirect the consideration of the masses, the Mafias of Portland Cement Zambia, the Ventriglia Family had already begun a slander crusade where they have focused on Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Zambia Reports has taken the initiative to create stories in the name of Dr. Rajan Mahtani and then move ahead to publish them and gain attention of the masses. By doing this they are able to keep the attention away from Portland Cement Zambia; giving them a chance to continue with the loot silently.

Nonetheless, former workers of the Portland Cement Zambia have uncovered an awful story of the concrete processing plant. According to their affirmation, workers of the plant were fired without giving any earlier notice and the current resources of the production line now have been leased to outsider organizations. This implies neither the manufacturing plant, nor the workers are currently under PortlandCement Zambia. As days pass by, it is likewise being said that the manufacturing plant will be left in a position where it will get beyond recoverable. All in all, who is behind this? The answer is, the Ventriglia family. After the death of Michael Sata these Italian Mafias returned to Zambia with one single goal of plundering Zambia’s wealth. Right now, the Government is likewise not paying consideration on this butchery as a few officers have been paid to supress this matter. So, will the general population of Ndola continue to witness this carnage or there will be a joint voice that would challenge this chaos in Ndola?

Portland Cement Zambia ruined and unattended

In the past few years, Zambia has been hearing stories that are basically beyond an individual’s imagination. In the last one & half years, Portland Cement Zambia is facing miseries that are too huge to ignore. However, even an issue this big is not bothering the Zambia government and its officials. On one hand, workers of Portland Cement Zambia are being mercilessly thrown out of the factory without pay or severance. At the same time the government has decided to turn a blind eye towards their misery. It is easy to see why conspirators such as Zambia Reports are continuously defaming people such as Dr. Rajan Mahtani and doing so without any fear of legal consequences. Conspirators are making comments about Dr. Rajan Mahtani and blaming him of bribing and spreading corruption. However, all these stories have one thing in common. These all are fake and no relation with reality on a long shot.

For almost one and half years, Portland Cement Zambia has been continuously exposed to oppression, disdain and mismanagement. However, no one is pointing out or even talking about this. This is because the only duty of Zambia Report is to carry on with its defamation campaign against Dr. Rajan Mahtani and keep the media away from real tragic stories like those of FBZ. This will help to cover up their masters’ illegal activities. The factory which was once running at a faster rate compared to others across the nation has been left completely abandoned with zero production and no resources. Since December 2015, the assets of the company are either being transported to other entities for profit by the Ventriglia Family, or being left to rust.

This carnage is a clear witness to the fact that the Ventriglia family is very good in playing politics and hiding their corrupt faces. Given the critical condition of the Portland Cement Zambia, it is highly unlikely that the factory will survive any further. A tough question here, is any one going to do something about this?

Conspiracies trouble Dr. Mahtani & Zambia

The present situation in Zambia is no more indeterminate. With developing channels to stigmatize Dr. Mahtani & Zambia, it has gotten to be clear that schemers will push till the last step to gain attention from people. Meanwhile, Zambia Reports has made It evident that it will stay faithful to the Ventriglias and will add to the campaign against Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

The group compromising of Sakwiba Sikota, Henry Banda & the Ventriglia family is currently the new face of defilement in Zambia. The gathering figures out how to either "purchase" support or begin stigmatizing individuals who have declined to support them in plundering Zambia. The episode at the Portland Cement Zambia is a selective case of how low these backstabbers can reach to have their goal satisfied. Prior Dr. Mahtani & Zambia had been calmly working its way to have a bright future for the plant. In any case, after the control was taken by the Ventriglia family, the processing plant saw a ferocious destruction. For example, exuberant cash withdrawal from the factory cash box, meaningless dismissal of workers from the plant and continuous channelization of factory assets to third party organizations.

Dr. Mahtani &Zambia have been always attempting to elevate the way of life of local people by helping them with jobs. The most pressing need of Zambia is to find control in its activities and push forward towards the way of monetary autonomy. In any case, right now, we are finding that there is just debasement that wins in Zambia. A gathering of individuals are attempting to change their fortune and in the process are pulverizing the eventual fate of thousands honest citizens. On the off chance that this is not changed in a matter of few months, then the fate of Zambia might be punished with greater instances of unemployment.

A new member has joined the Defamation campaign against Dr. Rajan Mahtani

The conspirators are flawlessly carrying on their defamation campaign against their primary target, Dr. Rajan Mahtani. The curious point to note here is that none of the government officials have noticed this. They are not even bothered to at least intervene in the absurd defamation efforts by the infamous Zambia Reports. The conspirators are taking this event as an opportunity to fulfil their objective. In the latest turn of events, Zambia Reports has successfully collaborated with another conspirator, Simataa Simataa. He is a former FBZ employee and recently won a case against Finance Bank Zambia at the LHC (Lusaka High Court).

Simataa was an employee of Finance Bank Zambia. Whenever his named popped-up, it was always for the wrong reasons. People working with him always complained regarding his poor ethics towards work. As a result, he was terminated from FBZ almost 10 years back. Since then, he has remained unemployed. Surprisingly, Zambia Reports identified this man as a ‘Banking Expert’, just because Simataa calls himself so. But the fact is this man was unable to prove that he was even a 12^th Grade pass because when he was asked to show his class 12^th pass certificate during an interview, he was unable to show the same.

The citizens of Zambia are smart enough to distinguish between malevolent news from genuine ones. The recent years are a proof that people of Zambia are no longer interested in these slanderous activities. The conspirators started the campaign with the objective of slandering Dr. Mahtani as well as Zambia. However, this campaign is now back firing them. The same backstabbers are now backing backlash every time they publish any article against Dr. Rajan Mahtani. It is also very evident that locals take no interest in their fabricated stories, especially from Zambia Reports. The citizens are slowly becoming aware of the real intentions of the Zambia Reports and its associates and have stopped giving any importance to their fraudulent news.  

New story against Dr. Rajan Mahtani covers Simataa’s story

At this point everybody has become mindful of the way that Zambia Reports is operating. They are simply a group of greedy people who would do anything to earn a few dollars. The most recent publication from its side uncovers that Simataa is a saint for them and has legitimately won a case in the Lusaka High Court. As indicated by them, he has been already battling against the ex-Chairman of Finance Bank Zambia, Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

Be that as it may, with regards to concentrating on reality the infamous news agency has dependably avoided the scene. They are least bothered about who has won, the only thing that is in any way important for them is writing ill about Dr. Rajan Mahtani and after that distributed them with a perspective to spread disorder. In case of Simataa's win, they have figured out how to locate an immaculate extension for their story as Dr. Mahtani and Finance bank were on the losing side.

In the previous couple of years, the entire of Zambia has seen comparative shoddy strategies actualized by Zambia Reports. Regardless of what the worry is, they will rapidly snatch the news in the event that it identified with Dr. Rajan Mahtani. As of late, they likewise attempted to extend this slander crusade by including Finsbury Investment.

Neither Dr. RajanMahtani nor any of his partners have an issue with the news distributed by Zambia Reports. Certain articles will not change the truth and people who have the knowledge about Zambia’s economy status will realize that ZR is nothing more than a house of writers waiting to be hired. May it the owner of a factory or a chicken vendor, all that you are required to do is visit the office of Zambia Reports and pay them. Desired output will automatically be reflected in their publications.   

Finance Bank now becomes the new target after ZPC (Zambezi Portland Cement)

Zambia is presently facing a dark period. Innocent citizens are being blamed on a constant basis. At the same time, culprits are fearlessly leading the defamation channels. After ZPC (Zambezi Portland Cement), the next target is FBZ (Finance Bank of Zambia). Recently, FBZ’s name was used in an article authored by some nameless writer. The writer was, as usual, covering for Zambia News Portal. It is absolutely known to everyone that after the merger of Finance Bank of Zambia with BancABC, the former is no longer in operation. Even after that, conspirators constantly try to defame Dr. Mahtani by making false and ridiculous connections.

The latest publication from the Zambia Reports clearly indicated that the infamous news portal is openly supporting Simataa Simataa. Recently, Simataa won a long-pending case against FBZ in the LHC (Lusaka High Court). A former FBZ employee, Simataa was disgracefully fired from the Finance Bank of Zambia after violating numerous policies, agreements and binding contracts with the bank. He also showed very poor professional attitude during his tenure which was another reason for the Bank to let him go. In the article, the author claimed that Simataa is an honest person and was confined into a set-up by FinanceBank and Dr. Rajan Mahtani. However, the irony of the story is that the same man failed to produce a certificate that would prove that he has even passed the XII grade. Needless to mention, Simataa is sitting idle for the past 10 years.

Out of the entire façade, there is only one linear conclusion; two losers backing each other’s stories. They are working together by helping each other and minimise their current misery. These entities and corrupt individuals are of the notion that if they keep spreading false news, it will eventually become true. However, they fail to recognise one simple truth which is conspiracy based on lies and false claims will never go far.

Former Chairman Finance Bank, Zambia attacked by Zambia Reports

The Former Chairman Finance Bank, Zambia, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been dragged into another controversy by Zambia Reports. Just when the whole world was tuning in for Christmas celebrations in December 2015, the notorious news portal came up with some imaginative stories where claims with respect to the ownership of Finance Bank were made. One of the publications of Zambia Reports claims that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is showing himself as the owner of FBZ to a concerned third party and then, there is another story which suggests that Dr. Mahtani has not transferred the ownership of FBZ to BancABC, yet. The result of these publications has resulted in widespread confusion and unsettlement in Zambian crowd.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani, has played a key role for Zambia. Nevertheless, Zambia Reports has always tried to defame him as the orders from the masters influence the journalism of ZR. Whenever, there is some good development under Rajan Mahtani, ZR is always there to point out claims which are irrelevant and completely biased. This execution is carried with a view to show the people of Zambia and the rest of Africa that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is not a decent person and breeds corruption.

In 2016, one of the most promising projects in Africa is the development of bio-ethanol plant in Luapula province. The scope of the project includes employing more than 7000 people directly and 25000 farmers indirectly. Nevertheless, people have now become sure that ZR will soon come with another claim and try to place hindrances during the initial stage of the project. It is sad to see that when the roads to development in Zambia have opened up under the Former Chairman Finance Bank, Zambia, it is the conspirators and jealous crooks who are laying the roadblocks through hindrances and paid media campaigns.

With Warm Wishes, Dr. Rajan Mahtani - 2015

Zambia welcomes 2015 with a belief that this year will bring greater prosperity and integrity to the nation which has been striking hard to climb the ladder of success. As one of the fastest growing nation in Africa, Zambia has some really big plans for 2015 as the Finance Bank of Zambia will start its share trading operations in days to come. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, Chairman of Finance Bank Zambia looks at this year as a great opportunity for Zambia to make a big impact on its development programs and accomplish its unfinished targets.

With warm wishes for 2015, here is something that is coming straight from the heart of Dr. Rajan Mahtani.
