Portland Cement Zambia has always been regarded as one of the finest resources of Zambia. The unit has not only managed to overcome the problem of unemployment in Ndola, but has also managed to make sure that economy of Zambia continued to grow at a decent pace. However, these developments were short lived when Italian Mafias took over the factory and started to ruin its operating equilibrium. With hardly anything left in the factory as of now, it is time that the people start to wonder whether they can have another PCZ as it is currently on the verge of collapsing.

May it be the financial resources or assets of the factory, Ventriglia family has left nothing for the nation. All money has been extracted from the factory and has been shifted to foreign accounts. Additionally, assets have been transferred to dummy companies whose owners is Antonio Ventriglia himself. Given the situation, it has become evident that loot was the ultimate objective of Ventriglia family and after they came to Zambia, they were determined to make this happen.

The way Zambian resources have been wasted is simply shocking! Workers being dismissed, wealth being looted and current operations suspended. This is how the factory has been slowly slayed under some greedy people. The whole incident would not have been accomplished without the support of some traitors such as Sakwiba Sikota and Zambia Reports. Their contribution ensured that local’s resistance was nullified through provocative writing against Dr. Rajan Mahtani and moreover, the official support was ‘purchased’. There are clear evidences to highlight that corruption and bribery played an important role towards the demolition of Portland Cement Zambia and it is the support of conspirators who had made this possible. As long as these bunch of conspirators will roam around in Zambia, every large and small units are under the danger of being taken by any Tom, Dick and Harry.
