One of Dr. Mahtani’s establishments was Zambezi Portland Cement, the cement factory which was established as a joint venture. While the factory worked very well under Dr. Mahtani’s leadership, things soon changed when the Ventriglias took over the factory illegally. The Ventriglias, known for their notorious and unethical practices, took control of the factory by force. Rather than scooping to their level, Dr. Rajan Mahtani registered a case at the Lusaka High Court. Since then, it has been 10 years and Dr. Mahtani is still fighting the case. Meanwhile, the Ventriglias have transformed the growing and productive factory into a destitute with half of the workers leaving the factory and assets of the factory becoming corroded. It can be seen clearly that the Ventriglias are in no way interested in the well being of the factory. In spite of this, they have defended their acts in the court by saying that Dr. Rajan Mahtani has not paid for the shares he owns at the factory.
The Ventriglias have not been able to share even one single evidence to prove their arguments. Dr. Mahtani, on the other hand, has continuously shared critical evidences such as signed shareholder’s agreement, independent audit report, financial exhibits and numerous testimonials that prove his true ownership over the factory. The judge currently handling the case has announced that the case hearing is closed and both parties have been asked to share their evidences in oral and written format. Post evaluation of these evidences, final judgment will be announced. It is hoped that this time, Dr. Mahtani will receive true judgment in the form of the factory.
