On the celebration of the 90th birthday of Tom Mtine, Dr. Rajan Mahtani made a speech were he considered Mtine as one of the finest person that Zambia has ever seen. Despite keeping a low profile throughout his career, Tom Mtine has ensured that Zambia continues to go from strength to strength and is able to tackle all his obstacles which comes in the path. The celebrations took place in Ndola, the third largest state of Zambia and the home to Portland Cement Zambia.
The event took back Dr. Rajan Mahtani to those days when he was young and agile along with a never ending enthusiasm to promote Mahtani & Mtine in the election campaign. The event offered the people of Zambia a rear glimpse of an emotional Dr. Mahtani who had praised the contribution of a living legend in Zambia.
Recently, Dr. Rajan Mahtani, on behalf of Mahtani Group of Companies entered into a venture with the Sunbird Group to setup a bio-ethanol plant in Luapula. The plant is expected to complete by 2017 and it will start yielding a healthy output which will reduce Zambia’s dependence on external aid along with offering employment to the locals. The proposed setup has been appreciated by President Edgar Lungu as well.
Zambia is currently under a fragile phase where development is an imperative part towards its route to success. However, there are some people who have been constantly using the channels of corruption to make private profits and weaken the unity of Zambia. Dr. Mahtani & Zambia are fighting against corruption and are looking forward to overcome the situation. With people like Tom Mtine, there is no shortage of motivation for Zambia and the people should look forward contribute towards the growth of the nation. The good will come only when the bad is removed forever.
