After the deportation was lifted, the Ventriglias have made a thrilling comeback in Ndola. They have not only managed to take over the Zambezi Portland Cement in the ‘Mafia style’, but have also managed to save a lot of money for themselves in May by not offering salaries to their existing employees.

The outcome was that the public lost their confidence on the Ventriglias and in spite of the influence of their funded portal, Zambia Reports, everyone was well aware of the truth. Therefore, with a view to enhance their reputation the Ventriglia family announced that it would increase the salary of the existing employees by 10%. Additionally, the increase in salary would be accompanied by better working conditions. However, it has become hard for the employees of the ZPC to believe this announcement as they are well aware of the sentiment of the present management group.

On one hand, they have failed to pay the basic salary to their plant employees for the month of April and on the other hand, they are promising a hiked salary for May. From the past activities of the Ventriglia family, it can be inferred that there is a smart plan being executed, which looks forward to gain the support of the employees and the locals. Sadly, we all know that this is just a sham intended to offer publicity.
