While the overall timeline of the start and closure of the Portland Cement Zambia case is more than a decade old, the final judgement from the higher Court of Appeal re-established faith in the legal and judicial system of Zambia. According to the final judgement from the Court of Appeal, Finsbury Investments was declared as majority shareholder of Portland Cement with 58 percent shares. On the other hand, Ventriglias were announced as minority shareholders with just 42 percent Zambezi Portland shares. Based on this shareholding pattern, it is now clearly established that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is the actual owner of the Zambezi Portland Cement factory.

The higher Court of Appeal gave its ultimate decision on 31st January 2019. From the evidences, the judge declared that the original shareholders agreement had established the fact that Dr. Rajan Mahtani owned Finsbury Investments paid a sum of USD 250,000 to the Zambezi Portland Cement Limited for covering the entire share capital value, which was 1 Billion Kwacha during that time. The document also confirmed the fact that Finsbury Investments, a company owned by Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani owned 58 percent shares at the factory and this shareholding did not have any attached costs associated. This documented proof clearly stated that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is the actual owner of the Portland Cement Zambia factory.

Furthermore, another major detail which the Court of Appeal judge shared was the law associated with PTT (Property Transfer Tax). The judge announced that it is the transferor or the vendor who has the responsibility of paying PTT & not the transferee or the purchaser. This decision not only confirmed that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the actual owner of the Portland Cement but also confirmed the unethical practices within Zambian society which requires immediate change.
