Dr. Rajan Mahtani Funds African Forum 2017, Makes it Successful

Industries are the backbone of any national government. They are the major drivers of a nation’s economic growth. They are also responsible or improving the social, technological and political strengths of the country. At the same time, these industries are also the major reasons behind pollution, nature’s degradation as well as corruption. Therefore, it is essential for the government and the industries to come together from time to time and discuss on the burning questions. Majority of the developed nations across the globe have achieved numerous feats with these events and all the emerging and developing nations are following similar suits. In Zambia, the African Summit is a similar event which is being conducted annually. The summit presents a platform for industrialists and corporate to come together and share their ideas and innovations for improving the social, technological and economic strengths of the nation as well as reduce the limitations.

The 2017 Annual African Summit was a successful event, with the participation of numerous industrialists and corporate houses. After the closure of the event, a press release was shared by the Chief Press Secretary of the Prison Fellowship International, which organized the event. The secretary thanked Dr. Rajan Mahtani for his significant funding for the event, resulting in its success. Dr. Mahtani is a noted businessman and philanthropist with more than four decades years of business experience in Zambia and also across the globe. His companies outside Zambia, such as those in the United Kingdom, have helped in bringing foreign investments in Zambia and boost the economic prosperity of the nation. Furthermore, his companies in Zambia are known for their transparent and honest business practices. Dr. Rajan Mahtani himself follows a similar path and even though he is constantly conspired by corrupt politicians and businessmen, he has never engaged in similar pursuit to gain an advantage.

Portland Cement Zambia Case Lying at the Lusaka High Court Nears Closure

As per the latest announcement, the case of Portland Cement Zambia is on the verge of closure and the announcement is expected to be in favor of Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Those who are aware of this case know that the case was registered almost ten years back by Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani after he claimed that the Ventriglias illegally took over the factory by using goons. The Ventriglias, on the other hand, defended themselves by saying that the shares owned by Dr. Mahtani in the Zambezi Portland Cement is not paid for. This started one of the lengthiest corporate wars in Zambia which is still continuing.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani is a noted figure in Zambia. He is a successful businessman and draws tremendous respect due to his honest working nature, transparency in business as well as significant charitable contributions. Unlike other illegal businesses and corporate houses, Dr. Mahtani’s companies have always maintained a clean image. Some of these are Finsbury Investments and Mahtani Group of Companies. The Ventriglias, on the other hand, do not share the same work or business philosophy at all. They are known for all sorts of illegal and unethical practices, using force or bribes to get away and abusing the loopholes of the Zambian law and government to escape punishment. The long-term lawyer of the Ventriglias, Sakwiba Sikota, was recently in news for involvement in money laundering crime in Zambia. He is suspected of laundering money in millions and the investigation agency has claimed that they have strong evidence against Sakwiba Sikota. It is easy to state that even the Ventriglias might have involved in these criminal acts.

Dr. Mahtani has shared all important papers necessary for proving his legal ownership at the factory. It is time for the judge to take the matters seriously and give back the Portland Cement to its legal and real owner, Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s Charitable Work makes African Forum a Successful Event

Development and prosperity of a nation is not the responsibility of government only. It is the responsibility of the entire citizens, businessmen, industrialists as well as all those who are staying and gaining something from the nation. As such, it is essential for successful companies as well as successful individuals to step up and contribute towards the growth and development of the nation. This growth and development by companies and individuals is generally termed as CSR or corporate social responsibility. However, one of the major benefits for companies and individuals engaging in corporate social responsibility acts is that they gain much positive attention from these activities and improve their overall reputation. Therefore, majority of these companies and individuals engaging in CSR activities also promote them, for improving their reputation or brand value.

However, there are also individuals and businessmen who have been engaged in charitable and philanthropic activities for long without branding themselves one or advertising their charitable works for personal gain. However, only few individuals in Zambia do this and one of them is Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Majority of us are not aware of the charitable activities and funding contributions by Dr. Rajan Mahtani; as he does not advertise these deeds.
