THE FIRST CIVIL SERVANTS IN ZAMBIA - 1903

These are probably the first civil servants in Zambia, then as North-Western Rhodesia. This is a rare photo taken in Kalomo, 1903 from a private photographer and possibly the only such surviving. The BSA Company was in control.

Kalomo was the seat of government for North-Western Rhodesia until the capital was moved to Livingstone in 1907. North-Western and North-Eastern Rhodesia were combined in 1911 to form Northern Rhodesia later known as Zambia.
