Does anyone know when Galvanised Zinc was first introduced into Africa?

I have been looking on the net and found some things about Kundu and Bakunda which used to be in Zaire which I now believe is Congo - which would match with what was discussed earlier.

Kate , I believe that Zinc is the metal used to galvanise *other* metals such as steel or iron . Possibly a google search on the history of galvanising would enlighten you as to the period you seek .
