Finance Bank Zambia & Dr. Rajan Mahtani were recently forced into headlines by the notorious Zambia Reports. It was in relation to conspiring against firm Lamsaat. However, the truth is far from what has been portrayed by Zambia Reports. The real reason ZR is publishing all these fake news time and again is to gain momentary attention from businesses and local people and satisfy their financers and handlers. Zambia Reports has been creating fake news and defamation campaigns against Dr. Rajan Mahtani for almost a decade now. The reason behind this is simple. The notorious news channel is getting paid handsomely to do it.
Zambia Reports is not concerned about their credibility. They are not concerned whether the news they are publishing is true or not. They are also not concerned about any backfiring from the media or the local industry. The only thing they are interested in is monetary gains. They will not hesitate even if it required defaming one of the most respected individual across Zambia. Their latest news article connected Dr. Rajan Mahtani & Finance Bank. In reality, Dr. Mahtani is nowhere connected to the issue. The real incident occurred between BancABC which controls Finance Bank now and Lamsaat. The case was simple. Lamsaat took loan from FBZ and failed to make regular payments. As a result, BancABC made the decision to make the call for repayment. It was an internal decision with no intervention from any outside individual or third party. But Zambia Report had to make a mountain out of nothing and what can we say! With more than 10 years of experience in publishing twisted stories and fake news, Zambia Reports has started to excel in this art.
This incident is a great matter of concern to entire Zambia, its locals and businesses. If sold media like Zambia Reports keeps controlling the media industry, what happens to the integrity and ethics of journalism? The common people will not be able to trust anyone. Businesses will become helpless and at the mercy of conspirators. Is this where Zambia is heading?
