Gandhi’s SA legacy threatened by lack of government interest, dwindling funds: Inanda heritage route museum and the Phoenix Settlement that Gandhi founded to uplift the community no longer have any major donors

Mahatma Gandhi lived here too, and it is where he established Phoenix Settlement in 1904. His house remains as a museum.Durban resident Jimmy Govender travelled to the Gandhi settlement during the January holidays hoping to share this history with his child. But he struggled to find the place because the signs were not obvious and he ended up on a dirt road.

The Gandhi Development Trust and the museum hub contribute positively to the communities of Inanda and Phoenix. After the July 2021 unrest, it facilitated healing programmes, including counselling for victims and providing medical treatment and food. The drop-in centre offers psychosocial support as well as assistance with registration of births and obtaining identity documents through a link with the department of home affairs.

With dwindling donations, the Phoenix Settlement Trust and the Gandhi Development Trust merged. While they currently still retain their separate names and NPO numbers, there are plans to get Phoenix Settlement Trust registered to qualify for public benefit organisation status. Gandhi said they are working on new programmes, such as spiritual retreats, to attract more visitors.

Not only about him🤔I saw the Hero’s Park in E.L. Just few years old(2015) and in a mess🤔

If Gandhi were alive today, he would be discriminated against by the new black government 🤔 Food for thought.

o one must jave any type of interest in this vile racist.He belings in the dustbins of history

Was saddened to read the weekend papers and learn about the increase in Indian white collar crime, women included.

Let’s not forget he was also a racist while we are talking about not forgetting history

Who would want to be associated with this racist. Ghandi hated black ppl

It’s fine close it

The very preamble of SouthAfrica Constitution starts about the injustices of our past and honouring those who suffered, healing diversity, etc. Without cultural history, how do we recognise this? Ghandi played a large part in this history too. It helps us understand our world...
