The South African Railways Class 8Z 2-8-0 of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1904 the Cape Government Railways placed in service its last eight 8th Class 2-8-0 Consolidation type locomotives, most of its other 8th Class engines having been built with a 4-8-0 Mastodon wheel arrangement. The first of the 2-8-0 type was designed by the railway's chief locomotive superintendent H.M. Beatty. This third batch of eight was delivered from the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow, Scotland, and the engines had the version of the Type XE1 tender with a coal capacity of 10 long tons. They became Class 8Z in 1912 and were withdrawn by 1935.
