(Excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in South Africa’)
Some of the
first Greeks arrived in the Krugersdorp area during the years 1905-1910 were D.
Georgiadis (D George) from Cyprus, E. Kalogeropoulos from Kalamata, the
brothers P. and D. Kouvaras from Ithaca, E. Nicolatos from Kephalonia, C.
Palidis from Cyprus, the brothers L. and A. Sykiotis from Ithaca and E. Psaros
from Vatika. A considerable demographic increase that took place during the
period 1955-1965 made Chatzipavlou, Palexas and Sfetsios to approach the City
Council of Krugersdorp and asked for the donation of a plot to be used for the
building of a church, a hall and school.
