Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani (popularly known as Dr. Mahtani) is a
Zambian businessman and philanthropist and Chairman of the Mahtani
Group of Companies. He has business interests across Africa, Europe
and Asia. The Mahtani group includes a large number of Companies and
has been built into one of the largest conglomorate in Zambia,
employing over 3500 personell and funding more than twenty
development projects in Zambia, apart from countless charitable and
philanthropic initiatives.
However, his success has naturally been accompanied by a vicious
smear campaign, aimed at maligning Dr. Mahtani’s reputation, by
vested interests in Zambia, and supported by persons in America and
Europe. It is noteworthy, that Dr. Mahtani filed defamation cases in
the State of Arizona and State of Minnesota, USA against such
publishers of defamatory articles, including Zambiareports.com. The
case was resolved between both parties and Zambiareports removed all
such articles as they were malicious, defamatory, libellous, false
and without any substance.
It has been brought to our notice that certain articles emanating
from the removed Zambiareports articles have been copied, reproduced
and/or published by various other websites, individuals and online
publications.
At Dr. Mahtani’s behest, his attorneys have reached out to those
whose contact information was publicly available, while several
others which were posted anonymously, remain in the public domain. To
those publishing and posting false allegations, which have been
proved to be without substance and deliberately malicious in various
Courts of Law in USA, UK, and Zambia, Dr. Mahtani’s USA attorneys
Clare Locke LLP ,
and UK attorneys Gordon Dadds LLP officially advise through their respective letters (attached)
Individuals and organization who may which to seek independent
clarification may write to them directly. In the absence of which,

legal action against them.

development of Zambia as a businessman and a philanthropist and has
earned an impeccable reputation. He has led numerous businesses in
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Europe and Asia with a
primary focus on banking, insurance, property development, financial,

and development projects have benefitted the respective Countrys’
