The Germans purchased land on the East Coast of Africa thwarting Cecil Rhodes plans for the Cairo to Capetown cross continental railway. The Germans were in a position to block this.

Yes it was. The railroad was suposte to cross from Cape to Cairo. Cecil John Rhodes prefered the railroad to pass through the Easter part of Africa. And this part was known as German East Africa what is nowadays modern-day Tanzania before becoming a british protectorate.
