The Greek pioneers of Malawi in the 1900s
In 1903, Blantyre of Nyasaland (cur. Malawi) connected with Rhodesia through railway. As a result, several Greeks who resided in Salisbury and Umtali of Rhodesia and owned small trading firms moved eastwards to Nyasaland to expand their business. They settled in Blantyre which was the main commercial centre of the Nyasaland protectorate and they started selling products to the local small European community.
