I used to live in Zimbabwe up until about 15 years ago. I was only 11 when i last left the county but i was already aware of railways. I remember seeing English Electric locos working in multiple with American locos. I have since found out that the English Electric loco was based on the BR class 40 but its 2000hp 16 cyl engine was derated to 1600 hp due to altitude. I dont know if the old boys are still going but i doubt it. There were also some English Electric locos im Zimbabwe that had a nose a bit like an F unit at one end and a narrow long hood behind it like a GP unit, ithing they were classed DE 4, and some very similar locos were suplied to Kenya in the 1960's and are still in use i think.
