The Zambezi Portland Cement Factory in Ndola was attacked by the Ventriglias during the early hours of April 7, 2015. The news came as a shock to Finsbury Investment, who owned 58% of the shares of ZPC legally. Though, Finsbury Investment already possessed an injunction for ZPC, the Ventriglias ignored all warnings and pursued their quest with the aid of Sakwiba Sikota.
Sakwiba Sikota, in a statement claimed that Finsbury Investment had withdrawn their status as owners of ZPC. To put it in his words, ‘Finsbury gave up the battle.’ The lawyer is well-known for his cheap tactics and has played an important role towards the return of the Ventriglias.
A question that remains unanswered by the conspirators is why will Finsbury Investment need an injunction if it had already surrendered its ownership over ZPC? The state of affairs in Ndola clearly suggests that the loot for ZPC was a well-planned action formulated by the Ventriglias and other funded parties in Zambia which includes Zambia Reports. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, an integral part of Finsbury Investment has been the prime target in this campaign.
However, this victory of the Ventriglias will be short lived as the High Court of Zambia has issued ‘an order for committal to prison’. Attached below is the copy.
