There is no question that the current Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant and ongoing problems for the countries of the world. As the pandemic gradually recedes by God’s grace and the diligent work of medical professionals, economic and social activities are returning to normal. Though it will be some time before the economy and social life return to their pre-pandemic levels, there have been some improvements over the past year. Two of them are the Forbes-FIN philanthropy and leadership roundtable gathering and the Forbes “Best of Africa” award ceremony. As usual this year, the conference and awards ceremony was held in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, the meeting from the prior year was conducted online, with participants participating from various locations. A global audience watched the conference live on YouTube. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, an honorary speaker who was invited to this conference, discussed the healthcare industry’s leadership and contributions to reducing the negative consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani further received a Forbes “Best of Africa” award. Forbes recognizes the pioneers and visionaries who have made significant, long-lasting contributions to a variety of industries. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was honored for his efforts to the transformation of Zambia’s banking sector. As a result, in 2021 Dr. Rajan Mahtani was given the Forbes and FIN “Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year” award. In addition to his services to Zambia’s banking industry, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was recognized for his charity activities, particularly through the Stephen Malama Award and Scholarship for the nation’s best law graduates and Prison Fellowship Zambia. A well-known Christian outreach program in Zambia is called Prison Fellowship. Zambia’s president, Hakainde Hichilema, recently announced his intention to completely repeal the nation’s death penalty law. According to Dr. Rajan Mahtani, who supported this claim, his organization Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ) will provide legal and regulatory assistance to ensure that this decision is carried out.
