The Greeks of the Rhodesian Railways Co


(Abstract from the book- The Greek community in Mozambique)

In 1892, many Greeks worked for the implementation of the railway line which would connect Beira to Salisbury (Rhodesia). Their presence was crucial to the completion of the railway because of their expertise and their prior experience in similar projects both in Asia Minor and Egypt. Upon completion of the railway works in 1899, many Greeks worked for the railway company as stokers, auditors and technicians.
