The Ventriglias have announced that the existing employees of the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory will now be offered a hike of 10% on basic pay. The announcement came shortly after it was revealed that the wages for the month of April has not been offered to the existing employees of the factory. Since the factory was taken over in ‘mafia style’ on April 7, 2015, the affairs of the factory are being managed by Ventriglia family whose only objective is to transfer money from factory cash box to their personal bank accounts.

Zambia Reports, a loyal supporter of the Ventriglias since it gets heavily funded by the latter has portrayed this news as a big achievement. Additionally, it has also done its routine work of defaming Dr. Rajan Mahtani by writing imaginative stories in his name and claiming that he had ruined a major part of the factory.

However, the truth is known to most of the people in Zambia and the rest of Africa. People are well aware of the attitude that the Ventriglia family possesses towards the employees of ZPC. Today they have announced an increment, but tomorrow the same may be considered as invalid and the workers will once again be deprived of the right to receive monthly remuneration.
