Re: Loco ‘designed, engineered and manufactured in Africa’ unveiled
It would probably be more correct to say "the first loco designed, engineered and manufactured in Africa in the modern era", as Wikipedia tells us:
Nevertheless, an impressive achievement by Transnet.[In 1947] The Class S1 was the fifth [steam] locomotive type to be designed and built in South Africa, after the Natal Government Railways 4-6-2TT Havelock of 1888, the Class 2C of 1910, the Class 20 of 1935 and the Class ES of 1936
