(‘The Greek community in Mozambique’)
In 1922, Beira was connected with the Zambezi valley
through the Trans-Zambezi Railway. Because the river at that point was about
two miles in width, it was impossible to carry goods to Blantyre in the then
Nyasaland except floods period when it could be crossed by a steamship. To
overcome this difficulty, a great bridge near Sena planned to be built. The construction
works attracted qualified staff, including the Greek mechanics and craftsmen
who had previously worked on the railway network.
