The future of the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory is currently standing at a point where its future looks dark and miserable. Since its takeover in early April, the Ventriglias have only managed to exact money from the office’s cash box and ensured that their personal account remains funded. By citing false references and scripted stories, they were also able to get an injunction issued by the High Court of Ndola that makes them the legitimate owner of the factory.
However, the truth is surfacing as the workers of the factory are revealing the horrific treatment which they are receiving in the hands of the Ventriglias. According to the existing employees of the ZPC, they have been not been paid salary for the month of April. When asked for the same, they were asked to recover the same from Dr. Rajan Mahtani, Chairman of Finance Bank Zambia.
The only hope which the workers hold as of now is the order of the Ndola High Court which was obtained on April 29 2015 by Dr. Rajan Mahtani which discharges the injunction which was previously obtained by the Ventriglias. Though, the same is now being contested by Zambia Reports as a forged document, the claiming party has forgot that it also carries the stamp of the High Court of Ndola.
Recently, Labor Day was celebrated all over the world, sadly, the employees of ZPC were unable to have their share of fun because they were not paid for the month of April.
