The day has finally arrived when need for official documents has become vital to ensure that dignity of Zambia remains in the hands of the right people. A document which has been kept confidential from April 2008 is finally out and today the world will witness the truth behind Portland Cement Zambia’s ownership. There are numerous facts mentioned in the document which will offer the people of Zambia a clear insight into the affairs.

First of all, the document clearly indicates that Ital Terrazzo Limited has 42% stake in Zambezi Portland Cement, which means that the Ventriglia family are the minority shareholders of the factory. Secondly, it has been clearly mentioned that it was the contribution of Dr. Mahtani & Zambia which made it possible for the Ventriglias to build this cement factory. Investing a sum of USD 24 million was beyond the capacity of ITL and hence, it had no other choice than to request Dr. Rajan Mahtani for the same.

It is shocking to see that how greed can change a relationship from friends to enemies. Ventriglias were a family friend of the Mahtanis and with time the greed for money has forced to them to make a compromise with their morals and become criminals. Life in Zambia was simple and peaceful until corruption got its grip. The story of PCZ, Dr. Mahtani & Zambia clearly indicates the ill effects of corruption which has been silently slaughtering Zambia and disrupting its harmony. Today, no man in Zambia can claim that corruption will not harm him or her. Every single day there are thousands of people who are suffering from the corruption and are facing the hazards of distances created by middlemen among reputed families.
