On the special occasion of Africa Day, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema announced his quest towards abolishing the death penalty. This decision received significant support from people, businesses as well as government. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted businessman and philanthropist from Zambia also supported the decision from the Zambian President. Dr. Rajan Mahtani recently gave an interview at the ‘Mast Newspaper’ in which he praised the decision from the Zambian President and stated that the concept of the death penalty is inhumane, cruel, and degrading. Also, the concept does not provide any value to the Zambian Government and is also an archaic one. Dr. Rajan Mahtani also stated that across the majority of the nations and even Africa, there is a significant awareness regarding completely abolishing the death penalty and this trend can be seen across Zambia too. Past Presidents have also tactically avoided death penalties by giving mercy prerogatives.

Prison Fellowship is a philanthropic contribution from Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, established more than three decades ago. Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the founder and present Group Chairman of this philanthropic contribution. Prison Fellowship is a noted Christian Outreach Program that focuses on bringing the learnings and teachings from Jesus Christ to the prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families in Zambia. The program also focuses on providing transparent criminal justice to the prisoners as well as ensuring that they are not devoid of fundamental human rights and basic human dignity. As such, the objectives and long-term goals of Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ) align with the latest announcement made by the Zambian President. At the same time, Dr. Rajan Mahtani also stated that there is a significant difference between making such announcements and ensuring that it becomes a reality as the process requires significant changes, legal reforms, and overcoming resistance from established processes. As such, Dr. Rajan Mahtani owned Prison Fellowship Zambia will provide all forms of legal and regulatory support to ensure that the decision from the Zambian President becomes a reality soon.
