Over the past few years, Zambia Reports have come into limelight for only one thing, execution of defamation campaigns. It is no secret that Dr. Rajan Mahtani, Former Chairman of the Finance Bank of Zambia has been constantly a major target of the Zambia Reports. This carnage is being plotted by the news media Zambia Reports for more than 10 years now. However, very few people are aware of the fact that Zambia Reports’ operator Sakwiba Sikota and Ventriglia Family (Owner of the Ital Terazzo Limited) are in very good relations. Their relationship can be explained from the fact that Sikota received free cement offer from the Ventriglia family for when the former wanted to build a mansion for his family.
The minority shareholder of the Portland Cement Zambia, Ital Terrazzo Limited (ITL) continues to gain ground as the new publication misleads the locals. Zambia Reports, as usual, has tried its level best to achieve multiple objectives of its masters. On one hand, it has tried to preach everyone that Portland Cement Zambia has been acknowledged with the award of being the BEST EMPLOYER and on the other hand, it has done its regular business of defaming Dr. Rajan Mahtani, the Executive Chairman of Mahtani Group of Companies. In such regard, it can be well assumed that the conspirators are continuously trying to play cheap games with the Zambian public and Dr. Rajan Mahtani.
In a prolific attempt to mislead the locals in Zambia, the Ventriglias have played another masterstroke in hiding the truth of Portland Cement Zambia. A publication with assistance from Zambia Reports has transformed them from villains to hero. However, the attempt has gone in vain as the people of Zambia are slowly realizing the true intent behind the article. When it comes to celebrating a fact, focus is usually on the subject and detailed information. But Zambia Reports is seen talking more about Dr. Rajan Mahtani, rather than focusing on the award.
From the past few months it has been seen that the Italian Mafias, or more commonly known as the Ventriglia family, are continuously avoiding Court sessions. There have been several instances when the Court had ordered their presence, but they were seen fleeing the country or presenting medical certificates for their poor health. When things started to get out of their hands they simply hired Zambia Reports to publish a new article indicating that they have won the award for being the best Employer.
Dr. Mahtani & Zambia have been shocked with the latest defamation attempt from Zambia Reports and the Ventriglia family. A headline that just looked like a success story for Zambezi Portland Cement was hiding another set of defamatory content against Dr. Rajan Mahtani. The incident has clearly marked the fact that the conspirators are least bothered about facing the legal consequences and would continue with these kinds of offence.
By now almost everyone in Ndola has become aware of the fact that Portland Cement Zambia has won itself an award for being the best employer of the year. People have come to know about this news with the aid of Zambia Reports, who are the loyalist of the Ventriglias- minority shareholders of ZPC. A lesser known fact that has been kept away from the locals is the attitude of the Ventriglia family towards Law & Order in Zambia.
The Ventriglia family has certainly learnt its lesson to bluff in detail. They are constantly trying to fool Dr. Mahtani & Zambia by issuing stories that are diverting the attention of the locals. When it comes to determining the actual status of the Portland Cement Zambia, nobody knows the true picture. Factors like the number of workers in the factory, the profit registered by the factory in the present year, etc., have not been indicated anywhere. But when it comes to placing vague claims the conspirators have certainly tried their level best to portray themselves as the best Employers in Zambia.
Rajan Mahtani, a business tycoon based in Zambia has been facing an onslaught from a group of conspirators since the past decade. However, it has been for the first time that marginal signs of ‘weakening conspiracy’ has been revealed. After launching a series of attack on the former Finance Bank Chairman, Zambia Reports has finally realized that this conspiracy was hurting them more than it was hurting the reputation of Rajan Mahtani.
With time the truth has finally began to surface. Rajan Mahtani, a name that Zambia Reports always believed to be on the wrong side is currently revealing his real identity. In the long run, facts have taken over and all the drama along with scripts have gone down the drain. The people of Zambia can no longer be fooled by stating that a ‘trusted source’ informed them with the information, because in reality there is nothing such as a trusted source for them. It is only scripts that are written in their office and then published in public.
The people of Zambia in general and Ndola in particular would not have thought that their very own Zambezi Portland Cement would be dismantled in this way. A cement factory that had seen better days is now being slowly tortured to death following the loot of cash from the factory cashbox and reallocation of assets of the parties to external companies. This is how a flourishing factory has been reduced to ashes within a matter of one and half years.
