The Hellenic Community
With Lubumbashi as starting point, which has always been an important hub for transports, Greeks became pioneers in transporting and selling goods – mainly food and clothing – even to regions where access was challenging. Experienced seamen found familiar to their home surroundings in the lakes Tanganyika and Mweru, where they run large companies involved in fishing and its trade. It was the heyday of the Hellenic community that counted 3,500 people at the time.
