(Excerpt from
the book ‘The Greek community in Mozambique’)
Between 1899 and 1902, the second war between the British and the Boers took place in South Africa. Few Greeks fought alongside the Boers and some of them who used to be traders in Transvaal, lost their properties as they were confiscated by the British. Therefore, to avoid the death or the confinement in the concentration camps, few of them fled to the nearby Lourenço Marques in Mozambique.
