Dr. Rajan Mahtani, the former Chairman of Finance Bank Zambia, has taken one of the biggest initiative in the history of Zambia. He has taken the fight for the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory to the High Court with a view to preserve the interest of his Zambian brothers. An oppression which has continued ever since April 2015, will now soon come to an end as the date of hearing is approaching closer.
The Italian Mafias, also known as The Ventriglia family, has used a channel of corruption to fulfil its needs. In their quest of taking over the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory, they have successfully managed to bribe news portals as well as political figures. However, one thing that these Italian Mafias have forgot is that Zambia is not a land of corruption and when the Government fails to preserve the interest of the citizens, there are citizens like Dr. Rajan Mahtani, who will stand as a barrier between foreign Mafias and the dignity of Zambian citizens.
It has almost been six months now and the Government of Zambia has done nothing to aid the workers who now face oppression in the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory. On the morning of 7th April, 2015, the Ventriglia family took over ZPC by force and since then, they are in charge of the factory. Knowing this very well, the Government has still failed to take a step against the Italian Mafias and offer adequate relief to its own citizens.
It can be regarded that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the lone soldier who is fighting on behalf of the Zambians. Though a businessman by professions, his leadership skills has definitely helped the Zambians to have a hope of light against the Ventriglias, who at the moment look firm with their corrupt activities and bribery scandals.
