The Portland Cement manufacturing plant was under contest for over 10 years and during this time, the industrial facility's creations and execution corrupted fundamentally. The current state of the production line is lamentable with decaying and rusted hardware and gear, labourers not being paid and absence of any budgetary guide for the improvement of processing plant's presentation. Numerous individuals related with the industrial facility and the case even said that Dr. Rajan Mahtani ought to have left the manufacturing plant after the misled misfortune at the Lusaka High Court. Nonetheless, Dr. Mahtani, by his very nature, has never been the one to leave his foundations and adventures halfway, regardless of the condition and circumstance. This is the very explanation Dr. Mahtani moved toward the higher Court of Appeal when every other person lost any expectation of getting back the manufacturing plant. Since the industrial facility is a legitimate having a place of Dr. Mahtani, he will give a valiant effort for improving the state of the processing plant and bringing back its unique magnificence.

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani Announced Majority Shareholder And Owner Of Zambezi Portland


Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is a noted businessman in Zambia. He is the proud owner of many successful business organisations in Zambia, including Mahtani Group of Companies and Finsbury Investments. Dr. Rajan Mahtani had approached the Court of Appeal after the judge from the Lusaka High Court announced a misdirected judgement on the Zambezi Portland Cement.

The Court of Appeal announced its final judgement on Zambezi Portland Cement on 31st January 2019. This judgement effectively reversed the decision from the Lusaka High Court, which held that Ventriglias were only shareholders of the Zambezi Portland Cement. This judgement at the Court of Appeal was given by Justice Mwinde, who also said that the judge below him was wrong in declaring Ventriglias as the only shareholders without having any proof. According to the judgement by the Court of Appeal, Dr. Rajan Mahtani owned Finsbury Investments is majority shareholder of Zambezi Portland with 58 percent shares. On the other hand, Ventriglias are the minority shareholder of the cement factory with only 42 percent shares.

At the same time, the judge also discarded all allegations of forgery by saying that the process of mechanically placing signatures for business transactions is a common practice across Zambezi Portland Cement. It was also found that important member of the Ventriglia family, Claudio Ventriglia, engaged in similar process for business transaction. As such, all allegations were discarded by the judge.

No panic from Rajan Mahtani, he was just shattered!

Just after the death of Zambian president Michael Sata, news went viral that panic has surrounded around Rajan Mahtani and his business across Zambia. It was also told that Rajan Mahtani was trying to take all his business out of the country. It is a matter of shame that during such an event that has shattered the entire nation, conspirators are still indulging in such activities to humiliate Rajan Mahtani, owner of the Portland Cement Factory Zambia. What is more astonishing is that these conspirators have shamefully used this event to defame an honest and dedicated businessman. The above rumour was instantly busted due to the lack of any substantial evidence or claims as well as the fact that Rajan Mahtani was never involved in such kind of activities.

After proper investigation, it was confirmed that the news was just a malicious and faux endeavour by conspirators with the objective of defaming Rajan Mahtani. An important point is that all these incidents are cited under an unidentified ‘source’ working with Zambia reports. Naturally, all these allegations can be considered as void until the source name and the authenticity of their claims is confirmed. Even other known personalities across Zambia have disgraced Zambia Reports for such unauthentic claims.

Rajan Mahtani is a popular and extremely respected business icon in Zambia. He is not only the Finance Bank’s chairperson, but is also Zambezi Portland Cement Factory Owner. His contributions to Zambian economy have given employment opportunities to the locals. Not only that, Rajan Mahtani also opened a bank account with initial 50,000 K deposit, entirely for the benefit of senior citizen and Zambian independence war heroes.  Convicting a man for cheating and betrayal is grossly unjustified, who gave so much to this nation.

Dr. Mahtani gets a clean sheet

Over the past couple of months it has been observed Dr. Rajan Mahtani is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Sometimes allegations involved using Emails to reach other VIPs in Zambia, whereas sometimes it was published that Rajan Mahtani is operating his bank illegally. However, with stringent investigation in process, the untold chapters behind the news are now being unfolded. The Chairman of the Finance Bank of Zambia Ltd., is innocent and has been given a clean sheet.

The series of allegations about Dr. Mahtani is nothing but a shameful attempt by the opposition to defame the accused. The news, which claims that Dr. Mahtani’s phone conversation was ‘recorded’ as an evidence to prove that he is a corrupt person is based on fabricated materials which supported the fake email campaign running on his name. The whole establishment was arranged in a manner where people were made to believe that there was a connection between the powerful personalities in Zambia and it was heading towards development of a ‘cartel’ that intended to run a parallel government.

The result of this mischievous act also broadened the gap between the Finance Minister and Dr. Mahtani. Just like every other person in Zambia, the Finance Minister also believed the false reports and tapes and soured his relationship with Mahtani thinking that he was looking forward to overthrow the present government. Nevertheless, there was one good news that continued to support Rajan Mahtani. His bank had shown a healthy development with a profit of US $42 million. Additionally, the Finance Bank of Zambia Ltd., was also successful in in showcasing a 20% increase in the number of bank branches and a 90% increase in the number of ATMs in all over Zambia.

It is a true fact that bad will never be able to suppress good. Rajan Mahtani has become the primary target of the opposition and still he continues to operate with all his zeal towards developing Zambia. Over the years he has not only been a successful businessman, but also has been a true philanthropist.
