🇮🇳🤝🇿🇦Mahatma Gandhi and South Africa October 2 is the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948), a prominent Indian independence campaigner and pacifist. Did you know?🤔 • 👨⚖️ A young lawyer, Gandhi moved to South Africa at 24 and lived there for 21 years (1893–1915). • 🌍 The honorific “Mahātmā” (Sanskrit: “great-souled, venerable”) was first applied to him in South Africa in 1914 — today it is used worldwide. • 🗿 A bronze statue of Gandhi stands at Gandhi Square, Johannesburg, unveiled on October 2, 2003. • 🏠 The Gandhi House museum in Johannesburg preserves his legacy. • 🗿 Another bronze statue of Gandhi is in Pietermaritzburg, unveiled in 1993 by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. #History#SouthAfrica#India#Birthdays#MahatmaGandhi
