"Gandhi came to South Africa in 1893 as a young lawyer, and remained in the country, besides several short spells in England and India, for 21 years. He experienced racial discrimination almost from the moment he arrived as a naïve 25-year-old."
After extensive restoration and sympathetic extension, Gandhi's former home re-opened as a museum and boutique accommodation. Its interiors have been faithfully restored to reflect the modest but aesthetically pleasing way that Gandhi and Kallenbach lived; filled with objects, fabrics and furniture sourced from Gandhi’s native state of Gujarat, India.
