Gandhi

The 11th of September 1906 witnessed the birth of a peace movement in South Africa, an event that had resonance throughout the world. On this date, Mahatma Gandhi launched Satyagraha, a movement for non-violent activism in protest at racist laws proposed by the South African administration. In celebration of this centenary, SGI-South Africa, in partnership with the Gandhi Development Trust, hosted events in 2006 in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
