Dr. Mahtani Urges Zambians To Follow Kenneth Kaunda’s Legacy

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani recently shared a beautiful eulogy after the sad demise of Zambia’s most loved President, Kenneth Kaunda. Dr. Kaunda was not only the first-ever President of the Zambian nation since its independence, he was also the independence hero of Zambia and was respectfully known as the ‘Father of the Zambian nation & African Union’

 

Dr. Mahtani imparted an exceptional similarity to Dr. Kaunda, through his own father, Late Lekhraj Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Mahtani's father was a prominent Ndola-based councillor and offered the genuinely necessary help and joint effort to Dr. Kaunda in his battle for Zambian opportunity. Dr. Mahtani and Dr. Kaunda share numerous comparable attributes. It is hard to adversary or equivalent the model and principled life which Dr. Kenneth Kaunda lived and Dr. Mahtani is one of those couple of finance managers and individuals across Zambia who is known to follow his standards and ways of thinking. Dr. Kaunda was known to have huge confidence in god and accepted that everyone is dealt with similarly before god. He was a magnanimous individual who put others before self. Indeed, even as the President of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda rehearsed sacrifice and commitment and put the turn of events and development of the Zambian resident prior to whatever else.

Now that the beloved ex-President of Zambia is no more, it is the duty of the Zambian citizens to take his legacy forward by believing in his principles and philosophies of the greater good. Then only the Zambian nation will be able to grow and develop through its citizens. The beautiful eulogy from Dr. Mahtani thrusted on very same philosophy.

After Evaluating Details, Supreme Court Zambia Rejects Appeal On Reopening Portland Cement Case

In a bizarre and scandalous event, the notorious Ventriglia family made an appeal against the decision given by the higher Court of Appeal on the Portland Cement Zambia case. It should be noted here that on 31st January 2019, justice Mwinde on behalf of the higher Court of Appeal reversed the previous decision from Lusaka HC judge that announced Ventriglia family as the only shareholders of the Portland Cement. Justice Mwinde on only reversed the decision, but also announced that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is indeed the majority shareholder as well as legal owner of the Portland Cement Zambia factory.

After the Ventriglia family launched an appeal against this same decision, a bench comprising of three SC judges was established for evaluating the claim. During evaluation, it was found that the Ventriglia family did not comply with the rulebook of case submission. According to this rulebook, all appeals against past court decisions must be registered within 14 days of the court decision itself. Since the decision from the higher Court of Appeal came on 31st January 2019, the window for appealing against it closed during the mid-week of February 2019. On the other hand, the Ventriglia family submitted their appeal after more than 18 months of the Higher Court of Appeal’s judgement. This automatically makes the appeal liable for rejection. Furthermore, the Supreme Court bench also said that the circumstances under which this appeal has been made is questionable and suspicious. At the same time, the SC bench concluded that this case was outside the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Based on all these evaluations, the Supreme Court Zambia rejected the appeal regarding Portland Cement and its ownership remains with Dr. Rajan Mahtani.
