The name of Rajan Mahtani has often been associated with development and motivation. His presence alone is good enough to ensure that the people of Zambia feel determined to make a difference and move ahead towards a brighter future. After the news of BancABC’s takeover on the FBZ surfaced, most of the people would have thought that Rajan Mahtani is now planning to retire. But, then came a shocker in the form of a bio-ethanol plant in the Luapula Province.

There are confirmed reports that the Mahtani Group of Companies and Sunbird Group have formed an alliance to develop a bio-ethanol plant in the Province of Luapula, Zambia. The plant would be constructed at an expense of USD 190 million and about 7000 people would be employed for meeting the requirement of the workforce. A crucial factor about the development of the bio-ethanol plant is the use of Cassava, a local crop, which is available in abundance in the nearby region. The threat to the surrounding environment would be minimal as the plant is a bio plant.

This is not the first time that a contribution from Dr. Rajan Mahtani has brought smiles to thousands of Zambians. In the past, Radisson Blu, Finance Bank Zambia and Portland Cement Zambia have also helped the locals to find a decent employment and contribute to Zambia’s success. Due to his philanthropic nature Rajan Mahtani has become one of the most influential personalities in the Zambia. Sadly, this has also resulted in attracting conspirators who are jealous of his achievements and wish to defame him. Zambia Reports has been one of the core contributors towards the defamation campaign and continues to execute the same even after being given legal warning. Life in Zambia would have been pleasant and fruitful, had corruption and bribery been not promoted by some corrupt people.
