I grew up under apartheid and of course we were not taught about Gandhi's having lived in South Africa; there were so many proud historical moments (and too many that are not proud) that we were kept in the dark about. Gandhi was a great inspirer for the struggle leaders, but sadly his non-violent resistance did not work in South Africa and in the 1960s another tactic had to be adopted.
Please feel free to post on our history forum about Gandhi in South Africa and his return to India and the great things he accomplished.
